   I guess originally they were calling him "Jam" but when you say it really fast it sounds like "Jim".

   It's because James is two syllables, and people are too lazy to use the second syllable. It went from James, to Jame, to Jim. (Jam was already taken)

   Maybe two syllables when you walk around with testicles in your mouth.

    I just put in the word “Thames” and it said 1 syllable. This shit is broken as hell.
    
    I am pretty impressed though that you actually managed to find a resource that backed up your incorrect assertion so quickly. You are a fuckin Googling master
