Rhett absolutely does not work on a female. The reason is that it was pretty much unheard of until Margaret Mitchell used it for an extremely masculine, virile character in Gone with the Wind. Rhett on a girl is worse than Ashley on a boy, which may or may not have been Mitchell's intention.

I don't care for the name Rhett, because it sounds harsh and a bit like vomiting.

My husband had a great-aunt or a great-great-aunt who died when he was very little. Her nn was Ret, or however it was spelled. Her full name was Aretta.
