How Did James Bond Get The Codename 007? A Canceled Movie Almost Gave Us The Answer

As Wright details, certain fans claimed Fleming chose 007 based on the international dialing code for Russia, but country codes weren't introduced until the early 1960s, meaning Fleming couldn't have used them as inspiration for his 1953 debut Bond novel. Others have claimed 007 is part of the ZIP Code for a section of Washington, D.C., but as Wright points out, the U.S. didn't start using ZIP Codes until 1963. Other dodgy explanations for the 007 origins include the claim that Fleming took the number from a Rudyard Kipling short entitled ".007." The James Bond 007 Museum in Nybro, Sweden seems to back this explanation on its website, but the only indication that Fleming used this as his inspiration is the fact that the number is the same, barring the decimal point. Otherwise, there's been no official confirmation of this claim.

Rudyard Kipling Nobel Prize in Literature 1907
Fleming had picked up number 007 from the title of a novel by the famous British writer and Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (best known for "The Jungle Book"). Kipling wrote a short story that actually was called ".007", which is about a steam engine and is part of his collection of short stories The Days Framework, published in 1898. The steam engine is in the short story number 007, the short story has nothing whatsoever with agents or so to do.

A LOCOMOTIVE is, next to a marine engine, the most sensitive thing man ever made; and No. ·007, besides being sensitive, was new. The red paint was hardly dry on his spotless bumper-bar, his headlight shone like a fireman’s helmet
