New suggestion?

I'm back mamas! Haha well Gideon clearly won over Kaiden in my previous post. Now I've heard a new name, and I'm questioning Gideon...but I love both!

The new name is Rhett..it means "Counsel, Advice" and it is of English origin. Back to Gideon, It means "Great Warrior" and is Hebrew.

Should I combine to Gideon Rhett or Rhett Gideon? Choose one name over the other? Thanks!

Edit:..people keep mentioning Everett...I'm sorry but I'm not a huge fan :/

I really like the name Rhett and I like it much better than Gideon.  Gideon is NMS.

I think both Rhett and Gideon are awesome and feel you couldn't go wrong. However, I prefer Rhett Gideon. Rhett just seems like it would grow better and fit him throughout his life than Gideon would, IMO.

I like both of them. I do like them combined as Gideon Rhett. Very classy!
I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

All of this. I love Everett and Gideon. I'm not a fan of Rhett at all, I used to love it but now I all I think of is Rett syndrome.

I agree with this. Rhett is on our short list. Great name!

I love Rhett!! Not a fan of Gideon, but as a middle name it's fine. Rhett Gideon is great.

oooh I love Rhett!! Its a totally different name than Everett - no h, in case anyone hadn't noticed! 

Not a huge fan of Gideon, but it would be OK as a mn.
