So in English James Bond had the code name "double-oh-seven". But the James Bond series is actually an international franchise, which is therefore translated into a lot of languages. In German James Bond had the code '007' and not 'OO7'. So, for me James Bond is 'NULL NULL SIEBEN', because German is my native language. Ian Fleming, btw, was a very interesting person in Churchill's Navy intelligence service. The name 'James Bond' was taken from a scientist, who wrote a book about birds in the Caribeans. The 'real James Bond' was most likely a 'John Ainsworth-Davis' who rescued Martin Bormann from Berlin in an 'Operation James Bond'. TH
