Dear AS: my face is red. I remember reading that because the first Hanoverian,
George I spoke no English, he pronounced name of river auf Deutsch. and sycophant
courtiers adopted his pronunciation. But AHD says the "h" in the name was
introduced by spurious scholarship, and pronunciation therefore aways was "Tems".
