I love it, but I probably wouldn't use it based on the fact that I'd almost certainly want to name my daughter Scarlett, and the names together would be far too much.

I like Rhett a lot. A LOT more than Brent. I don't think I would use it (would rather use Scarlett and that would just be wierd) but I say go for it. It's a nice name, and considering people these days, the ones my age at least, some of them might not even 'get' the reference. *shakes head sadly*

I like it... but I do prefer Brent.

Since I've never met anyone named Rhett, nor heard about a single person with this name, so I think, yes, the GWTW association is strong enough. But I don't think that it would be a problem at all:
1. Rhett is a cool character (JMO)
2. it's not an overused boring Andrew or Michael

If you really like the name, I say use it! It sounds nice, it's nice written out, and I prefer it to Brent :-)

I LOVE IT!!! Brent is Yuck~!

I absolutely LOVE the name Rhett. I do associate it with GWTW, but it's a good association anyway. I wouldn't hesitate in using it, it's lovely.

I like it, and I never associate it w/Gone with the Wind, although most people probably would.

I really like the way Rhett sounds, but I don't think I could get past the GWTW association. I would keep Brent in this case, I think.

It's okay, but it's too associated with GWTW for me, like Romeo is too associated with Romeo and Juliet. And Rhett is a pretty sleazy character in the book, despite being interesting-evil and not psychotic-evil.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about it. ;) Sorry--I don't find it attractive at all. I think it sounds like a weird contraction of "ribbit".

If you used one of the two as a middle name, you could use both Brent and Rhett.

When I worked at McDonald's, I had a manager named Rhett. He was the nicest guy; sort of like a church boy. Rhett is nmsaa, but it's not horrendous or anything. It conjures up a good, friendly image.

I really love the name Brent. Rhett is ok but I prefer Brett. I would only use Rhett was a nn for Jaret or something.
