How the heck are the names Jim and James interchangeable?

It makes no sense.

Indeed.

Here we often say' Jimbo', or 'Davo" for David  or perhaps 'Pauly', long before mafia flicks.

I had a terrific nick name which I had from grade seven until  I left school. I was called "Deadly" or 'Dead' for short  by my intimate friends. It was Mr deadly by the school principal who thought he was funny. He was uniquely of that opinion.. School boys have  merciless wits, with a good sense of irony. All I'm saying is that my nick name was the result of an incident at cricket. Nobody was killed or even injured, except from laughing.

I often wonder what my old doctor' s nicknames might have been - but I never asked Dr Carrion before he retired.... 

It would have been funny if he had chosen pathology instead of family medicine.
