Moneypenny's First Name

It should be noted that while Moneypenny does not make an appearance in Casino Royale, when Vesper Lynd makes her appearance on the train she states "I'm the money" to which Bond replys "Every penny of it" perhaps in homage of the missing character. 16:37, 03 Jan 2007 (PST)

Miss Moneypenny's first name? advise Avatar007@aol.com

In one film Bond calls her "Penny". Whilst "Penny Moneypenny" isn't that absurd compared to some female names in the Bond world ("Pussy Galore", "Mary Goodnight", "Holly Goodhead", "Xenia Onatopp" etc...), I wouldn't automatically take this as anything more than a shortened form of Moneypenny.

Jane Moneypenny

Given the confirmation of her first name in the new Moneypenny Diaries books, I have adjusted the infobox and intro accordingly. I am, however, refraining from moving the article to Jane Moneypenny since so many articles would have to be changed as a result. 23skidoo 21:03, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Inspirational basis"

This section read:

"Paddy Bennett played a key role in an operation, devised by Ian Fleming, to deceive German Intelligence over the site of the D-Day landings by letting a body of a uniformed British naval officer fall into German hands complete with briefcase containing intelligence information pointing to landings in the Pas de Calais region (this operation has been immortalised in the film The Man Who Never Was). She helped create the false persona for the body by creating a paper trail that would satisfy German Intelligence that the naval officer existed, including many love letters."

To which someone has added accurately (but not in Wikipedia style) - "Comment: 'The Man Who Never Was' - based on Operation Mincemeat - refers to a plan to deceive the Germans about the invasion of Italy - NOT D-Day."

As this is unsourced, we can't tell whether Ms. Bennett was involved in Operation Mincemeat or Operation Fortitude. I have cut back the whole section until someone can clarify. -- Beardo 00:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

video games

bond and moneypenny according to fleming

it says in the beginning of the article that their attraction is non-existant in the fleming books, but then later it goes on to say that fleming said moneypenny dreamed endlessly of bond. it doesnt make sense —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.246.217 (talk) 02:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

other new facts of Moneypenny.

Could someone post these facts here.

-In Skyfall, for the 1rst time a black Moneypenny. -Also some kind of sexual/romantic relationship between her and 007. -Could be regarded as a fully Bond-girl in Skyfall.

Could you provide a reliable citation to support the fact that they have a relationship and that she is now considered a Bond girl? - SchroCat (talk) 10:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's right there in the film! Several minutes of fireworks, Bond sailing through a tunnel, etc. There's no ambiguity about it, the new Moneypenny, unlike the old one, is a Bond girl. -- 07:41, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Moneypenny is a daughter?

Eve Moneypenny in Skyfall was an agent before becoming the new M's personal assistant. Quite clearly she is a different person, and a younger one, than the Moneypenny in the early books/films. I suspect she may be a daughter, adopted or by birth to the first Miss Moneypenny. Hambleton (talk) 22:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm... That's about as good a definition of WP:OR as I've ever come across. Apart from the fact that Casino Royale was a reboot, which allowed them to do lots of things, there was a different Bond in Daniel Craig... is he a younger brother of Brosnan? Was Connery his Dad and Dalton his uncle? Find a WP:RELIABLESOURCE to go with the outlandish theory. - SchroCat (talk) 23:07, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will write an article for a newspaper on this clearly reasonable theory and then we can cite that as a WP:RELIABLESOURCE Hambleton (talk) 00:52, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTRELIABLE: it would be classed as a self-published source. Generally it's a fringe theory and would therefore fail WP:PSCI. - SchroCat (talk) 03:54, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is more than a forgivable glitch in the storyline, brought on by younger actors replacing older ones. The problem is that in the Skyfall plot itself, Bond is ageing: his over-the-hill status is an issue, his previous adventures are history, and his DB-8 has been garaged for some time. Given the storyline, he cannot possibly be meeting "Jane" Moneypenny for the first time, so Eve is necessarily a different person. Within the fictional Bond universe, this is a "fact" that Wikipedia can take notice of. The writers will have to come up with an explanation for the fantastic coincidence in names, and a daughter or niece would seem to be the obvious choices. (A daughter, NOT adopted, would be the most interesting twist they could give to the series.) Until the writers make their choice known, however, her identity is speculative, and not Wikipedia material. 98.14.227.73 (talk) 13:09, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
