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".

Also, in "The 4400", the Messiah-like figure Jordan Collier shares initials with Jesus Christ.
