Last week I posted a trivia question asking what drink Montezuma drank 50 goblets of each day - the answer was hot chocolate. This week's trivia question is this:
What is the origin of the name "James Bond"?
HINT: The author got this name from the author of another book.
First correct answer wins 10 points!

Commander James Bond, CMG, RNVR is an agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) (more commonly, MI6). He was created in February 1952, by British journalist Ian Fleming while on holiday at his Jamaican estate, Goldeneye. The hero, 'James Bond', was named after an American ornithologist, a Caribbean bird expert and author of the definitive field guide book Birds of the West Indies; keen birdwatcher Fleming had a copy of Bond's field guide at Goldeneye.
