I speculate that *Jem* came before Jim. Jem, for whatever reason, was coined as a nn for James in medieval times, and was eventually elongated to Jemmy, and eventually the E got turned into an I, hence Jim and Jimmy.

I like Jemma as a feminine form of James, btw.

I have no clue about Chuck. But I will say that I think it's an awful nn!
