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.

      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).

      Lots of my mayo buddies got a surprise when they choose to interview the doll named “Angel” in cyberpunk 2077.

        Not sure what a mayo buddy is, but I take it Angel is male and your buddies aren’t close to any Hispanic communities, didn’t watch Dexter, and don’t know St Michael’s title. And while not named as “Angel” but playing angels, didn’t see Dogma or Good Fortune

          You missed that lame ass vampire show too wasn’t his name angel? Personally I watched angel get chainsawed in a bathroom guess the film! Mayo is spicy flavor for whities.
