I've got one of those names

Evertime I met someone, call someone, or whenever I have to tell some my name it goes like this and has gone like this my whole life everytime:

"Hi my name is Rhett."
"Red?"
"No, Rhett."
"Rat?"
"No, Rhett."
"Oh, Brett."
"No, Rhett.'
"Reat?"
"RHETT!"
"Oh like Rhett Butler! Did you mom name you after Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind?"
"She told me no, but my brother told me yes."
Then comes the question all women ask me. "Have you found you Scarlet?"
Thanks a lot mom! Not only have you scared me with a name that is hard to pronounce but you eternally linked me to character in a movie whose true love is a selfish spoiled bitch. I was doomed from birth to never have a succeful relationship becuase of the charma behind my name. I feel like that Jonny Cash song about the man named Sue. Trust me for all those future parents please do your children a favor and not name them after charcters in a movie.

I used to be upset when people called me Brian. I am not a Brian. I am Ryan. Although, that has become a popular name it doesn't get butchered like Rhett. Hang in there, it could be worse mom could have named you Fricken. There is a teacher at Brother Martin named that. Dr. Fricken. I am not kidding. As for the ladies, who knows maybe you will end up with a girl named Beatrice. That would suck.
