read a rule ages ago about names ending in s only dropped the trailing if they could be seen as a plural (eg 'james' but not chris)
seemed a bit arbitrary at the time and can't find it now

"James" is - or at least was - a plural
One jame, multiple james. A jame is a type of hairy caterpillar native to the Middle East. If a child was born with bushy eyebrows, the midwife would often say "Quite a pair of james on this one" and often the parents would take that as a suitable name, "James".
