he chose James Bond as being “brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon”
I heard the name came from an ornithologist and that it was a tongue in cheek reference to the agent being an expert with “birds”.

Big Bond fan. Best book You only live twice. Wish they had not screwed up the plot. Would have made a great Connery movie.

Even tho he used a lot of sexual innuendos, Fleming never used four letter words.
I saw an interview of him many years ago. It was a grainy black and white film. The interview was pretty long and when the guy asked him why he never used four letter words, he at first said it was his Scottish parents but after thinking about it, he said he just didn’t like to see curse words in print.
