The Name Is Bond, James Bond

aka: Bond James Bond

Bond: I admire your courage, Miss...
Sylvia: Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mister...
Bond: Bond. James Bond.

— Dr. No

Many a character these days will introduce themselves James Bond-style (surname, given name-surname); e.g.,

"Lockhart, Sally Lockhart."

Most often set up by another character asking something like, "I didn't catch your name, Mr./Ms...."

For extra humor, characters with limited language skills or from another culture (or who just want to be a pedantic pain-in-the-backside for whatever reason) may subsequently address our Ms. Lockhart as "Lockhart Sally Lockhart".

An element of the Tuxedo and Martini style. A type of catchphrase.

Examples, Trope Examples:

Campaigns, Advertising Campaigns

• There was a local commercial in Toronto about ten years ago for a garment store called "Tip Top Tailors". It featured a rather silly montage of a James Bond-type character saving a girl in a Thriller environment. At the end the man says, "Tailors. Tip Top Tailors".

Manga, Anime & Manga

Note that in Japanese it's typical to introduce yourself with your family name, or your family name followed by your given name; so this trope doesn't have the same meaning as in English, and often takes the form "The name's Bond, Bond James."

• In CLANNAD, Kyou does this when Tomoyo introduces Kotomi to her.
• In the first episode of Full Metal Panic!, Sōsuke introduces himself to a hysterical runaway as "Sagara... Sōsuke Sagara," as he rescues her from the battlefield.
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: "Joestar. Joseph Joestar."
• The title character of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's introduces herself to Vita as "Nanoha. Takamachi Nanoha." when Vita asks for her name (Vita promptly declares it as too hard to remember). In the Battle of Aces video game, Nanoha introduces herself in this manner again when she comes across a Dark Piece that took the shape of a Vita who had yet to meet her.
• The Trope Namer himself does this verbatim when he's introduced in Moriarty the Patriot. And who can blame him?
• RO-KYU-BU!: Token Mini-Moe Hinata does this, when the basketball club introduces themselves to Subaru. Although "Hinata. Hakamada Hinata" is more of James, Bond James though.
• In The Vision of Escaflowne, Hitomi introduces herself to Allen with her first name first, then her name in Japanese order (so it comes out as "Hitomi, Kanzaki Hitomi" in Japanese). In the English dub, she introduces herself as "Hitomi, Hitomi Kanzaki". Allen does not make any mistakes with her name, despite the fact that Asturian name order follows the English pattern.

Books, Comic Books

• Batman: Wayne, Bruce Wayne.
• Parodied in one Judge Dredd story where all of the actors who played John Blaze are lured to their deaths with the Sean Connery standin as the Sole Survivor. When interviewed afterwards, he says of his next film project "The namesh Dredd. Judge Dredd."
• The name's Dante. Nikolai Dante.
• Planetary: Stone, John Stone. Agent of S.T.O.R.M.
• Yoko Tsuno introduces herself like this in The Prey and the Ghost. As the story takes place in Scotland, this may have been a Shout-Out, not only to James Bond but to Sean Connery as well.

Works, Fan Works

• Used in Bait and Switch (STO) when the viewpoint character introduces herself to the audience as follows: "My name is Eleya. Kanril Eleya." Inverted in that, since she's Bajoran, Eleya is actually her given name, not her surname.
• In The Better Man Harry actually introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond" as a reaction to Draco's "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" introduction, which includes insults to Harry's school and cousin.
• In The Grinning Snake, Konoka introduces herself to Shizuru this way. As shown below, the fic uses Western naming order and forgoes Japanese Honorifics.
  Shizuru: Now, what would you like to discuss, Miss...
  Konoka: Koukuto. Konoka Koukuto.
  Shizuru: Miss Koukuto.
• In Unexpected Encounters Jack Savage introduces himself that way when he meets Haida and Ookami.

    Buford: What kinda stupid name is that?
  • This is also how Clara Clayton introduces herself to Doc.
• Being a parody of the James Bond movies, Carry On Spying has the expy of James Bond say a variation of this. He says to his teacher, "Bind," but is interrupted by his teacher, who asks, "James?" It turns out the teacher (and probably the audience) was wrong. "No, Charlie. Charlie Bind."
• Constantine: This is Constantine. John Constantine. %&*hole.
• How Godfrey introduces himself to Mr. Mainwaring in Dad's Army:

• Virtually a given in any James Bond movie, obviously (most of the times).
  • "Trench, Sylvia Trench" from Dr. No is actually the first character to use this trope. It's in response to this introduction that Bond first utters the deathless line. In the reboot Casino Royale, it's "Mathis — Rene Mathis."
  • Averted in From Russia with Love, Thunderball (although technically said by another character) and Quantum of Solace. Skyfall helpfully makes a return to it.
  • In Goldfinger, Bond uses the line on Jill Masterson, then later on uses it on her sister Tilly, who impatiently cuts him off halfway through.
  • Turned into a Running Gag in A View to a Kill, as Bond uses a variety of fake names. Also played with in the Duran Duran video for the film's theme; toward the end of the video, the band's lead singer identifies himself as "Bon. Simon LeBon."
  • Lampshaded in the teaser trailer for Tomorrow Never Dies by Bond himself:
    Bond: The name's Bond... you know the rest.

    Dr. Madeleine Swann: [to her and the now-deceased Bond's daughter Mathilde] I'm going to tell you a story. It's about a man. His name was Bond. James Bond.
  • Played for Laughs earlier in the film when Bond (after having been retired for several years) returns to SIS headquarters and introduces himself at the MI6 front desk with just his last name, then irritably gives his full name when it gets no recognition.
  • Played with in For Your Eyes Only. When a fellow agent introduces himself by last name only, Bond replies with, "Bond, James," prompting the other agent to give his own first name.
• John Carter: When sending a telegram at the beginning of the film, the title character tells the telegraph operator that the name of sender is "Carter. John Carter."
• In the beginning of Lady in the Lake, Phillip Marlowe introduces himself this way.
• The Matrix: Smith, Agent Smith. Considering that the names of other programs in the Matrix correspond to their functionality (Trainman, Keymaker, The Oracle etc.), Agent apparently is the first name. However, he drops it in the sequels when he goes rogue and goes by just "Smith".

  Zero: Zero, Ultraman Zero, son of Ultraseven!

Literature, Written Literature

• Lampshaded in one of the novels about noir-ish Swedish secret agent Carl Hamilton:
  Carl could not resist the temptation. "My name is Hamilton, Carl Hamilton", he said.
• Every single volume in the Geronimo Stilton series starts off with Geronimo introducing himself to the readers as "Stilton, Geronimo Stilton." One of the books was even titled "My Name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton."
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Slartibartfast initially thinks Arthur's name is Dentarthurdent. "As in the late Dentarthurdent."
• In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this is how Draco Malfoy introduces himself:
  "Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle," said the pale boy carelessly, noticing where Harry was looking. "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."
• Obviously, James Bond himself, who does it since the very first book.
  • In The Man with the Golden Gun, Bond, while working for the villain under an assumed name, introduces himself as "Hazard. Mark Hazard." Luckily the villain doesn't pick up on it.
  • Bond mentions "Leiter, Felix Leiter" in a phonecall in Live and Let Die, and M. gets in on it in Moonraker. It seems more like an MI6 form of identification than Bond's catchphrase.
  • Bond introduces himself this way to Sluggsy in The Spy Who Loved Me. He then says that it's "a pretty chump name".
• Parodied in the cover text of The Jennifer Morgue — appropriately enough, given the number of Bond shout-outs in the book:
  "The name is Howard. Bob Howard. Please don't hurt me..."
• In Neverwhere Richard does this, but awkwardly, saying his first name twice and his nickname after. So Door calls him "Richard-Richard-Mayhew-Dick" at first.

TV, Live-Action TV

• Parodied in the '80s Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Diamonds Aren't Forever", in which the main character, a spy with the first name James, repeatedly tries to do this trope, but whenever he or another character is about to say his last name, they're always interrupted somehow. "James" is even portrayed by former James Bond George Lazenby.
• In The A-Team's Season 5 episode "The Spy Who Mugged Me", which is an Affectionate Parody of James Bond films, Murdock is sent undercover as a spy named Logan Ross. Naturally, knowing what kind of story he's in, Murdock spends the rest of the episode introducing himself as "Ross, Logan Ross" with a very good impression of Sean Connery's voice. He also goes to the bar and orders "orange juice: shaken, not stirred."
• The Trope Namer gets spoofed in a short clip shown in one of Bill Nye the Science Guy's chemistry episodes:
  Pierce Brosnan lookalike: The name is Bond. [Beat] Molecular Bond.
• Bones:
  • When Booth and Brennan go to the UK, Booth is charmed that the gun he's issued is the same kind Bond used, and proceeds to answer the phone this way.

• In an episode of Charlie's Angels, Bosley introduces himself this way, only to get the "Hello Bosley Tom Bosley" response. He tried to correct it but ended up doing it again.

Jon Pertwee was both a James Bond fan and a friend of Ian Fleming, so it was likely a deliberate use of this trope.

  • "Human Nature": The schoolboy who finds himself onboard the Family of Blood's spaceship introduces himself to them as "Baines. Jeremy Baines."

• In Elseworlds, Kate Kane introduces herself this way when Kara asks her name.

He doesn't get the chance to correct it until the end of the episode.
• Fort Boyard: That's how crazy Mountain Man Gary Boo introduces himself.
  Gary Boo: My name is Boo... Gary Boo!
• During a fantasy sequence on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Carlton introduced himself like this while saving a young woman from a mugger.

B." And when introducing him to the girls, Danny screws it up by saying, "This is Lou, Bond Lou. (Beat) I screwed that up, didn't I?"
• Get Smart was a spoof of Spy Fiction, in general. So naturally, the eponymous character (Maxwell Smart) would introduce himself this way whenever he met with a contact: "Smart... Maxwell Smart. CONTROL agent 86." The episode where he first meets 99's mother reveals that he's even printed his name on his business card exactly the same way.
• This happened on an early episode of Green Acres when Oliver was introducing himself to some of the Hooterville residents, including Uncle Joe Bradley (crossing over from Petticoat Junction).

• Stargate SG-1: Daniel Jackson, needing an alias in a hurry: "Olo. Hans... Olo."

  John: My name is John. Mark John.
  Anne Marie: Well, you need a mark in there to separate one john from the other.
• In Ultraman Orb, this is how Ultraman Orb Origin introduces himself.
