This one’s probably a question with no answer because the boys’ club are vanishingly unlikely to cast a woman to play Bond.

    Her name could be Jaymes Bond. And there is no reason a girl cannot be called James. Nikita is female in most of the world, except Russia. Carrol is a man’s name, and Carol is a woman’s name. Tony can be a man or a woman. Names only have genders because we assign them that trait. If all the guys you ever knew in your life were called “Sophia”, it would be weird for a girl to take that name. A name is just a name, no matter how weird, unique or cool it is, it’s just a name.

      But James Bond is supposed to be a bland forgettable name since Jaymes is an uncommon name for a woman it would be much more rememberable

      Elton John, then still not fully out of the closet, made good use of that, writing a love song titled Nikita, though having the love interest in the video be a blonde woman in a fur hat (presumably to appease the record company).
