Rhett as a nickname
I was curious if anyone could think of longer name that has something like an -rett ending or some other name that the nickname Rhett could be used.

Thanks for your ideas. I do like just Rhett, but I thought it might make people think of Gone With the Wind.

If you did use it as a nickname, I wouldn't spell it Rhett - it seems contrived that way. I'd just use Ret, Rette, or whatever corresponds to the full given name. Jarrett, Barrett, Everett etc. come to mind, though I don't think Rhett as a nn seems natural and spontaneous like nns should be (imo).I'm biased though, as I love Rhett as a full name :-)_____________________________________________________________________"He (David Gest) looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon."Elinor

I see Rhett as a formal name - not as a nickname. Anyway, as Kappeash said, Garrett could work. But, I don't like the idea of the formal name decision revolving around a nickname.

Maybe not all of them can be used, but these are all the names I could think of with a Rhett sounding combination or otherwise suitable for Rhett to be a nn:Rhettman (see comment on Rhett, click link)Conrad
