   Ian Flemming wrote the 'James Bond' novels, of course, in English.   
      
   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'.
