    I knew about it because of Jacksfilms. It makes no sense though. It’s got both the same number of syllables and letters. Jim and Dick make sense to me (and are also the only ones of these I feel like people know about in general.)

      What I can’t quite make sense of, is how ‘James’ itself is a diminuitive of ‘Jacob’.
