That's not a celebrity though. That's a fictional character. It's kind of the same but kind of different. People these days are a lot less likely to know of Cary Grant than James Bond. I guess Marilyn Monroe is different since I think more people know of her than Cary Grant and Bob Hope. Though James Bond is probably more known of than Marilyn Monroe.Having the same name on purpose as a current celebrity in my opinion is a bad idea.James Bond could go by Jim Bond or Jimmy Bond. Also I would definitely go by a nn when introducing myself on the phone and to people who didn't know me.
