      Patrick, ever heard of those animals called turkeys? There is a nation called Turkey, with its people being called "Turks". Do you think you can explain the similarities and differences in a future video?

    • @logwhitley

      Kaden Vanciel people thought Turkeys came from the land of the Turks (ottoman empire). Interestingly in Turky they are called Hindi because they thought the bird came from the land of the Hindus (India)

    In the distant future: "I want to give give my character a nice, unassuming name, but all of the good ones have already been turned into spies!"

    Ian Fleming and Geoffrey Rush are clearly twins separated at birth.

  • @jimcalhoun361
    @jimcalhoun361 7 років тому +2

    Fleming picked what he considered to be a common name because spies are not supposed to stand out. They should be as noticable as a leaf of grass in a huge lawn.

    Video Idea:
    why is the British currency of Pound and the Imperial weight name of Pound share the same name?

    • @arrgghh1555
      @arrgghh1555 7 років тому +5

      The proper name for the currency is "pound sterling". And when it was named the coins were made from silver and called sterlings and 240 of the coins were made from 1 pound of silver.

      Here in Mexico (and a lor of latinamerican countries as well) we have the exact same issue. 'Peso' means weight or the name our currency.

      Arrgghh oh,ok thanks

    • @joshuawan7004
      @joshuawan7004 7 років тому

      side note, the pound concept was originated from the Roman pound libra, therefore the pound sign has the letter L in it, both for £ and lb
      this also why the Italian currency used to be "lira"

    Fleming worked at camp x near Oshawa in Ontario. Everyday when Fleming would have gone to work, he would've passed St. James Bond United Church.

      Long story short: Iceland is actually very green and Greenland is very icy and barren. Vikings wanted to mess with people so that no one would go to Iceland and instead go to Greenland.

    • @NameExplain
      @NameExplain  7 років тому +1

      Thank you! The country videos are very popular, they aren't however my favourite kind of videos to make so if I made them 24/7 I'd grow to hate this channel ha. I like to tackle many topics and not let myself be pigeon holed into one kind of video :)

    “One of the most iconic names in human history”
    Ok, no. That position will never be held by a fictional character. Not compared icons like Julius Caesar, Gangis Khan, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Queen Victoria, William the Conquerer, Napoleon Bonaparte, Marie Antoinette, George Washington, Cleopatra, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander the Great, Mohammed, Jesus Christ, Constantine, Abraham Lincoln, Buddha, Vlad the Impaler, William Shakespeare...
    I could go on and on and on.
