Do you know a Bond?

I have a cousin who is named after Bond Rogers's character. Her parents were expecting her in 1976 when they saw the movie and loved her name. Does anyone else know a Bond?

Actually, my first name is Bond. My mom saw the movie and loved the name, but thought she was done having kids. Anyway when she was pregnant with me she was hoping for a girl so she could use the name, and it turned out I was. My dad's a big John Wayne fan and loves the part where John Wayne says it's a "cracker jack name for a woman" :)

I never met a 'Bond', but I think it's a crackerjack name for a woman!

It was actually in tribute to Wayne friend and versatile character actor Ward Bond
