Lemuel

The "hick" comments are clearly coming from people who hate country dwellers. I'm sorry you hate them, but what does this name have to do with your class bias? You met some bad Lemuels? Since the name is uncommon, I doubt it.

I used to think that the name was odd, but now I quite like it. I prefer the pronunciation lim-yoo-ehl, though. Either way it's quite handsome. I find it refreshing. The other biblical names, although they are nice, have mostly been overdone to death.

It reminds me of lemur.

I actually like this. I guess I love hick names. It is a nice underused biblical name and not as weird as someone made it seem.

Lemuel is a lovely name with a wonderful meaning. Lemuel would make a great middle name, but it sounds too uncommon for a first name.

I used to like this name but it makes my skin crawl now. And now that I think about it it does sound like someone with a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth.

It does sound like a hick name. Or someone saying "la mule" in spanglish. I just picture a very unattractive person with a piece of straw in his mouth.

I don't like it. It sounds like a hick name to me.

I don't know how you guys think this sounds like a hick name, the only person I know with this name is black.
