- Comments and insights on the name Brett
My brother Brett was named in 1983 after baseball player George Brett. My mom didn't like George, but she liked Brett. I once read a really good book that had a Brett in it. He tried to eat the main character. Happy thoughts.
I like the name Brett, it's a good, masculine sounding name. The only drawback is it sounds like BRAT.
