How would you spell NN for Everett?

(My computer is dumb and wouldn't let me do a poll...so the old fashioned way)

Rett or Rhett

(Rhett personally looks better to me, but it kind of bothers me that there's no "h" in the full name.  However, I will NOT change the spelling to Everhett to remedy this.  WDYT)?

TIA!

This is always tough. I think since it's a nickname either is fine. I lean towards Rett since that's what's in the name vs. Rhett the stand alone name. But there are so many nicknames that don't abide by this.
ETA: and it's not your computer, no one can do a clicky right now. Lame bump gods changed stuff so OPs are bold and options like polls and previewing your post, helpful when posting a pic, don't work.
And apparently you can't use parenthesis either.

Rhett.

All the letters don't necessarily have to be in the name to make a nickname.  Don't overthink it.

I am on the fence with you.  I would want to use Rett as that is in the name but would lean torwards adding the H so that it doesn't look misspelled.

 This. There is no k in Michael but people still use Mike.

Given that my DH is Mike, this is exactly what I was going to say. Rhett looks great!

Rhett.  

Don't overthink it so much.  Rett just looks wrong.

Thanks ladies - you are AWESOME! And also thanks for the Michael/Mike reference (it's my brothers's name) don't know why I didn't think of it that way.  I personally like Rhett better and think it's a more natural spelling.  :) So Rhett it is!

I think Everett NN Rhett is the way to go. Lots of NNs don't fit with the spelling of the FN. Lucille (Lucy), Catherine (Kate), Michael (Mike), etc.

Spell it Rhett.

 

The NN derived from the formal name does not have to have the same letters in it.

Examples: Betsy for Elizabeth, Peggy for Margaret, Jack for John

Everett is our boy name for this baby and his NN would be Rhett.
