Re: Names that fell out of the top 1000

I think Rhett is in the same style category that Rhys, Jett, Everett, Scarlett would be.
Brett (and to a lesser degree Trent) seems older like Brad, Brock, Brendan, Brent, Brittney, Kent, Travis, Trevor, Tracy would be imo. And people who'd use it might prefer Brooks, Beckett, Bennett, Beau, Barrett, Bryce, Jett, Tatum. There's just so many similar but newer sounding names.

I second this!
Exactly, Rhett is literary and also "unspent"
Unspent seems like the best explanation, to me.
The "Rhett Butler" thing seems to have worn off when people started using Scarlett ... maybe that's why it didn't get "spent" alongside Brett.

Good point
