    A lot of characters from Kim Sherwood's novels take their name from that long file bit in Casino Royale.

    CR also introduces the idea of a chap who heads the 00 section, but the idea is never brought up again. Perhaps slightly more realistic for him to exist on a day-to-day basis, but M I think simply had to be used for scale reasons

    Plus Q gets his(?) only mention too.

    From Russia With Love has a line about Q's craftsmen working on the Bond's attaché case; so technically that implies Q's existence as one person.

    Quite interesting as well that Q's first appearance is not even close to gadgets or arms or even equipment but booking travel and rooming organization, work that I would have though have gone to a secretary or something like that.

    He's the master of Bond's quarters, I suppose!

    Ah I missed that one, thank you! I guess if it’s phrased like that technically it could still be a department (you could say ‘google’s craftsmen are busy working on’ something), but I agree it sounds more like a person, especially as we’re being shown there’s a guy called ‘M’.
