13 Bond Girl Names Ranked From Fun to Fabulous

      Here are 13 Bond girl names ranked...

      From the amusingly ridiculous to the genuinely fitting.

      Let’s dive into the ranked names of Bond girls.

      But First, A Bit About Bond Girls

      James Bond is an unapologetic womanizer who occasionally finds love, strategically seduces his adversaries, and often cannot resist the allure of striking women at a roulette table.

      One way Bond’s creator Ian Fleming indicated that much of the spy series was humorous was by assigning whimsical names to many of the Bond girls in his novels, with names ranging from puns to double entendres. This playful tradition continued with Bond screenwriters.

      While some Bond Girls have rather unremarkable names (like Pam Bouvier) and others are somewhat silly but don’t quite land (like Christmas Jones, which is a setup for a terrible joke), the names of the Bond girls in the upcoming slides are all cleverly crafted in their own ways. They are ranked from least impressive to most impressive.

      13 — P—- Galore

      Goldfinger, the third Bond film, does not hold back on quirky character names. For instance, Auric Goldfinger quite literally embodies his obsession with gold. Then there’s the assassin manservant named Oddjob. And of course, there’s the woman leading a team of female pilots—P—- Galore. (We can’t fully disclose her first name due to restrictions on our platform.)

      No Bond Girl name has been parodied more than Ms. Galore’s, and you’re likely chuckling right now. It’s incredibly on the nose, and it’s surprising that the production team managed to get away with it.

      Played by Honor Blackman, she transitions from being a villain’s accomplice to an ally of Bond. Galore almost feels like her own parody, making it the most ludicrous name in the Bond universe. However, it remains the gold standard for silly names.

      12 — Sylvia Trench

      Bond’s womanizing nature was evident from the very beginning, but he didn’t have a different woman in every location. In fact, the same actress appears as the same character in the first two Bond films, Dr. No and From Russia with Love. Yes, for a brief moment, Bond had what seemed to be a recurring romantic interest, named Sylvia Trench.

      Bond encounters Trench, portrayed by Eunice Gayson, while playing Baccarat in Dr. No. It seems he is dating her when From Russia with Love begins, but he soon abandons her for his spy activities. While Trench does not officially serve as the Bond Girl in a film, her presence in two films as a romantic interest justifies her inclusion.

      Moreover, we wanted to highlight her because her name is Sylvia Trench. Sylvia. Trench.

      11 — Xenia Onatopp

      This name represents a departure from the traditional idea of a Bond Girl. Xenia Onatopp is a genuine femme fatale and antagonist, so much so that she meets a rather gruesome end in Goldeneye. Many of the women Bond interacts with become mere plot devices, but to receive an over-the-top action movie death like Xenia’s, she must excel as a villain, which she indeed does.

      Giving a nod to the absurdity characteristic of the Pierce Brosnan era, Xenia’s persona feels almost like a cliché. As a sadistic female antagonist, she kills a man with her thighs. Her name is amusingly silly, especially the last name Onatopp.

      Honestly, the name Xenia is the more intriguing component.

      10 — Holly Goodhead

      Moonraker showcases the Roger Moore era at its silliest, leaning towards campy but not quite achieving it. While some segments are tedious, the film is packed with examples of Bond at his goofiest, particularly in the case of its Bond Girl.

      Holly Goodhead stands out as an utterly ridiculous name, reflecting the "first thought, best thought" approach pervasive in Moonraker. She ranks higher than P—- Galore because, at least, Holly is a legitimate first name and only half of her name serves as a double entendre.

      9 — Jinx

      MGM

      The 007 franchise celebrated a significant casting achievement featuring Halle Berry in the same year she won the Best Actress Oscar for Monster’s Ball. Her Bond film, 2002’s Die Another Day, also gifted her a fantastic name: Jinx.

      Technically, her full name was Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson, and she collaborated with Pierce Brosnan’s Bond to combat British billionaire Gustav Graves (Toby Stevens) and his second-in-command, Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike)—who also boasts a
