One's my choice and one's his dad's and we can't decide 🤣

Rhett.

Holly60 · 28/09/2021 12:14

The only issue I can see with Rhett is if anyone in your family/circle of friends is likely to pronounce it with a glottal stop at the end. That would completely ruin it for me I’m afraid.

Isaac 100%

I've never heard of Rhett and I don't like it much

Isaac

Love Isaac

Isaac will get misspelled a lot - Isacc, Issac, Isaac.

Cityzen74 · 28/09/2021 07:36

Isaac

Rhett sounds a bit like rat…
Isaac - sounds like “I suck”
Sorry just an opinion

Isaac

Rhett immediately makes me think of Rett Syndrome which is a horrid association.

Mrsfussypants1 · 27/09/2021 22:55

Rhett, though I'm not sure what his peers will make of it. Two colleagues at work have Isaacs, both under 2. It's a name I hear quite a bit at the school gates, park etc.

santabetterwashhishands · 27/09/2021 22:51

Rhett is a syndrome so a big no from me
Isaac is ok but there's lots of better names for boys

Isaac
Rhett makes me think of Rett syndrome.

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 27/09/2021 22:47

Rhett is fantastic.

Isaac is good. But only if spelled this way. Otherwise he will have to Correct people.

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 27/09/2021 22:45

Isaac by a country mile. Rhett doesn’t look or sound like a name to me although I know it is.

sarah13xx · 27/09/2021 22:44

Rhett
It was so high up my name list when I named my little boy but was just too unusual for us to actually go for. I absolutely love it though and think you should!
Isacc/Isaac/Issac there’s so many spellings of and I’ve met some less than desirable Isaac’s

OuiOuiBonjour · 27/09/2021 22:42

Ooooooooh Rhett!!!!!!!

That's a bloody brilliant name. I love GWTW!

Whaatszup · 27/09/2021 22:41

Isacc is not good. People will think he's called Isaac and he will have to correct them all the time.

Rhett is fabulous.

DressedUpAtAnIvy · 27/09/2021 22:41

Isaac

daisypond · 27/09/2021 22:28

Out of those two, Isaac - but spell it correctly. I’m not keen, though.

SaltySheepdog · 27/09/2021 22:28

Rhett

Jigsawprison · 27/09/2021 22:24

Isaac.

user1493494961 · 27/09/2021 21:43

Isaac.

Cuddlemuffin · 27/09/2021 21:32

Rhett is much less common but needs to go with a surname of at least 2 syllables. Isaac is okay too but not my favourite x

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 27/09/2021 21:26

Rhett is nice but too strongly Southern US sounding ("Gone with Wind") for me - so I have to pick popular Isaac of the two.
