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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] "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)
