I don't think Lead has a good connotation though:

Personally I'd prefer to stick with Lithium as proposed here.

Hey, I happened to come across this discussion by chance and agree with your point so it's worth mentioning, although you may already be aware, that Lithium has also recently come under increased scrutiny, primarily due to:

I'd suggest not picking "mercury" for the letter "m" -- one potential pick for the letter "q" is "quicksilver", which is an alternative name for "mercury". I may have intentionally stopped short of "q" in this PR 🙂.

If 26.x can be Lead, 28.x could be Molybdenum, which means "lead-like" according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_element_name_etymologies

It can't be a reminder as it comes first 🙂.
FWIW Neon is a noble gas, similar to Argon and Krypton. It's also half as many characters (four instead of eight) as Nitrogen 🙂.
