My name is unique especially being a black man. People think I'm white when they see my name. Reading the comments, I saw a person hated people named Brett due to arrogance...lol, now I know why I'm hated in my office. LOL!
I like it, but the 1st thing that comes to mind when I hear this name is Turbo Teen (Google it), and that poor boy who turns into a car involuntarily whenever he gets hot... it looks painful.
Like the name itself, but have yet to meet a Brett that I like. A guy at school, my friend’s dad, and Kavanaugh are all Brett’s that make the name appear to be of someone who is not the greatest person to be around.
Like this name better on a girl, on a boy it reminds me of an annoying, slightly racist, sexist frat boy with a rich father who pretends to be religious for the sake of parents. I do not like it much as a girl name though.

I agree with the person who said this name sounds like the name of a racist, sexist frat boy. Doesn't help that there's the association with Brett Kavanaugh.
Brett Michael Kavanaugh (born February 12, 1965) is an American lawyer and jurist who is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He previously served as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and as a staff lawyer for various offices of the federal government.

I named my son Brett because when I was a kid I used to have a crush on "Brett Hudson" of "The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show".

Sounds modern, yet outdated at the same time. Doesn't sound very mature or competent either, though I haven't met very many Bretts.

This name still sounds really modern despite the decreasing popularity.

Brett Lee was a great Australian cricket player, he was the fastest bowler in the world and he also advertises for Weet-Bix. He is a national hero and a legend throughout the world (especially England, Pakistan, India, South Africa etc.) he was in a movie called UnIndian. He has a perfect middle part Mohawk with blond tips, and he now likes to commentate on cricket and has a kid.
I'll be honest, I haven't encountered many male Brett's I've enjoyed. The women bearers of this name however, one in particular, charms me to no end. For a woman to wear a name commonly ascribed to men takes strength and individuality. Personally, I love a good female Brett.
My name is Brett and I'm a girl. I used to hate my name because people made fun of me and some people didn't believe me when I said that my name was Brett. But then people matured as I got older and I got lots of compliments and I started to like my name. I've only met one other girl with the name Brett and plenty of guys. Yeah it sounds like a guy's name, but I like it because it's unique. I've learned to embrace it as others should embrace their own names that they might not like.

I agree I hate unisex names and names that are rightfully male but Brett will always be Genie Francis in North and south for me, I kinda like it. Can't really see it as a guy's name anymore.
Honestly, I'd always known the name to be masculine, and was struck (and not in a negative way!) when I came across this used by a woman. For those were were making comments that it doesn't sound remotely feminine and therefore shouldn't be used in that way, it is actually a traditionally feminine name that just declined in popularity in girls and grew in boys, so it's mainly a societal thing that it doesn't sound "right" to be used as a feminine name. I never knew anyone named Brett, and so when I read The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, the name seemed to fit the character of Lady Brett Ashley so perfectly, it made me fall in love with it and want to use it in the future.

This name is wonderful! I would probably name a son this, but right now it gives me a mental picture of my future husband--dark, wavy hair, lovely green eyes, tan skin and impressive muscles (not that looks really matter when you're blind like me). The name Brett also makes me picture him with a fun, easy-going personality, with just a touch of cockiness; someone who is a blast to be around. I'd like to find a blind person someday who can actually attract someone as amazing as all this! (Haha. Sad face).
For a guy, I don't like it at all, but for a girl, it's AWESOME! And I'm not just saying that because it's my best friend's name; I had that opinion even when I was a little girl when I first heart of Brett Butler.
I have a friend (girl) named Brett, but I still can't get used to it being on a girl. For me, Brett is a guy's name.

I like this name, but only on a guy. It seems to me a little like naming your daughter Michael. It's your kid (/puppy/character/stuffedpony), but it just seems strange on a girl.
It's a great name for a boy born in winter, maybe because it reminds me of the children's author Jan Brett who wrote a lot of books that took place in a Scandinavian winter forest. It's a very simple name, I think I prefer it as a middle name, especially between two longer names. Jonathan Brett and Alexander Brett are two of my favorite combinations with this name.
Okay for a boy, but please - DON'T use it on a girl. Awful, horrid name for a girl. I knew one in school that was constantly mistaken for a boy, got tormented by other children and absolutely hated it.
The birth of the world's first test tube quintuplets is recorded in London, England. Alan, Brett, Connor, Douglas and Edward are the names chosen by parents Linda and Bruce Jacobssen.
The people who use this name on girls probably have the misguided assumption that this name is pronounced just like Britt, which it sure isn't. Others may think it's cool and groundbreaking to use masculine names on girls, but this name isn't going to sound cool on a woman, especially if she is traditionally feminine and past the age of 27.
Brett Messerschmidt is the name of a character in Cecily von Ziegesar's series "The It Girl". In the book she refers to having the same name as the character in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises".

Brett Somers (birth name Audrey) is an actress best known for her appearance as a panel regular on the 1970s game show Match Game. While she also appeared on shows such as The Odd Couple, Mary Tyler Moore, The Love Boat, and The Fugitive, Somers' risque back-and-forth with Charles Nelson Reilly and Richard Dawson is what most remember her for.
It's my last name. It's okay. Nothing special. But sometimes people say Barette or something stupid and I have to say it like 10 times or spell it out for them to understand it. Haha, but what can you do right?
For some reason when I hear this name I think of barett, the thing you wear in your hair.

Nothing wrong with the name Brett at all. It has a nice sound to it.

Brett is my husband's name. It's nice enough, but it has a really boring meaning (someone from Britain), and it's amazingly hard for people to understand over the phone! That final "t" sound just disappears, and he gets "Brad" a lot.
The person who commented above that this name means someone from Britain is mistaken - it means someone from Brittany. Since my child is not an immigrant from Brittany I won't be naming him this! I hate other people's surnames as first names. And that goes for Mason, Tyler, etc.

One of my biggest teenage heroes was Brett Anderson, singer in 90's britpop group Suede.
This is a horrible name, the only Brett I know is mean, rude, and spoiled rotten. The name reminds me of a bad haircut!

I'm a Brett and I've known a few Brett's who were nice guys. Next time you want to flame someone's name why don't you write it in your diary and leave us poor Brett's alone.
A Brett can be like anything but I picture a kinda bogan guy who reckons he's tough.
