Lemuel
Lemuel is a neglected Old Testament name, with the friendly nickname Lem, that we're surprised hasn't been picked up on by parents who have known too many Samuels.
In the Bible, Lemuel is mentioned twice in Proverbs as a king, but the name is probably remembered more as the first name of the narrator who journeys to Liliput in Jonathan Swift's satirical Gulliver's Travels.
In the Book of Mormon, Lemuel was one of the sons of Lehi, notable for his rebellion against Lehi and Nephi.
Lemuel was Number 195 in 1881, but started a downward trajectory from which it never recovered.
