Looking for a MN for Rhett

babyike

We're team green, but starting to think about names.  We are not even close to narrowing down girl names LOL.  But, we've agreed on a boy's first name.  We have an atrociously long German last name (.......berger), so we're trying to come up with a short MN for Rhett.

TIA.

I love Rhett.

Andrew, Mason, Jonah, Mathew, Parker, Aaron, Grady, Steven, Lucas

Hmmmm, even with an 'atrociously long German last name', LOL, I like a two-syllable MN with Rhett.  (I'm not a fan of a one-syllable FN, one-syllable MN combo no matter what the LN is.)  Also, I like classic names with Rhett.  Here are some thoughts:

Rhett Michael

Rhett Thomas

Rhett Douglas 

 

I agree. I really like 2-syllable middle names with a 1-syllable fn.

My sister named her little boy Rhett and decided on Joseph as a mn. I kept pushing for James so we could always make Chapelle Show references around him (since it sounds like Rick James), but that was a no go. Haha

Alan (or Allen) and James where the first ones to come to my mind.

We're also team green, and going with Rhett if LO is a boy...and we also have a very German LN! Small world...

our MN is Onesimus, which is meaningful to us, but probably a bit much for most.

Some other names that we considered/I think sound good:

Rhett Alexander, Rhett William, Rhett Loyal, Rhett Oliver, Rhett Matthew, Rhett Michael, Rhett Daniel

Whatever you do dont use Rhett Michael.

All I can think about is Brett Michael, IMO

But I like Rhett Alexander or Rhett James

LOL.  I agree, I think you still need a 2 syllable mn.  There are a lot of good suggestions in the thread already.

Rhett Alexander or Rhett Morgan.

FWIW, I have a medium-length FN with a long MN and a super-long german LN, and it never bothered me. I use my MN so infrequently that it's never been an issue.

Ladies, you have outdone yourselves!  Thank you for all the suggestions!  And I totally agree with those that suggested going with a 2-syllable MN  It was sounding very weird when only using 1-syllable FNs with 1-syllable MNs...  For reference, our DD's name is Heidi Elise and our DS's name is Brooks Nolan, so most of your suggestions go well with their names too!

So far, I think we like:

Rhett Allan

Rhett William

Rhett Logan (DH came up with this last night)

Rhett Avery 

And LOL x 1000 at the "Brett Michaels reference"  We'll be sure to stay away from that combo.

Rhett Allen, Rhett Camden and Rhett Oliver are what come to my mind.

The first thing that popped into my head was Davis. Rhett Davis.

If we were to have another boy it would be Rhett William so that gets my vote!!
