On Facebook of all places I read that Daniel Craig is a relative of James Bond. Anyone know that to be true or false? If true, I think it should be trivia here...
I read somewhere that in return for using his name, Fleming gave Bond permission to use his name. He even wrote to Bond's wife: "I hope your husband finds a very ugly and repulsive bird he wants to name Ian Fleming." But Bond never had the chance to do that. Is this true? — JIP | Talk 16:16, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to write here for future reference that many websites state that James Bond (sometimes referred to as Jim Bond), the ornithologist, is really named "Terence James Bond". This is not true. There is a Terrence James Bond and yes he happens to be an ornithologist, but he is someone else entirely. K1Bond007 21:47, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
I know this has been changed before (I wasn't involved in the original title of the book, either). The correct title of Bond's famous book is Birds of the West Indies. It is further subtitled: "A Field Guide to All the Birds of the Caribbean Islands". I have made the change, and am planning on creating an article on the book itself.
The Los Angeles Times carried an obituary of James Bond, complete with photo. My copy went astray some time back, but it should be available via library microfilm. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.175.225.5 ( talk • contribs) .
Bond was once denied access onto an aircraft when he showed his passport to the staff, bearing his name. It took quite a bit of explaining.
Given that the real James Bond lived long enough to see his name become widely recognised through his fictional namesake especially after the film series had taken off, I wonder if suddenly having such a widely recognised name did have any significant effects on his life (such as the mentioned but unconfirmed case of passport confusion, or possibly being asked for autographs if people discovered his name), and especially on his book sales, in particular the sales of Birds of the West Indies. If anybody has read anything about this, I would simply be curious to know. -- Florian Blaschke ( talk) 23:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I had the impression that this was located in the Pedro Bank. RichardBond ( talk) 09:35, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

The article states:
"In 1964 during his annual winter stay at Goldeneye in Jamaica, James Bond and his wife visited Fleming unexpectedly."
This suggests that it was Bond who had the annual winter stay at Goldeneye, but surely it was Fleming? I will edit the article accordingly, but if anyone disagrees, feel free to revert. Mike Marchmont ( talk) 07:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
