Bond. Hamish Bond....
Hamish is an Anglicisation.

James is Séamas (IRISH) or Seumas (SCOTTISH GAELIC). However, the vocative is Shéamais (IRISH) or Sheumais (SCOTTISH GAELIC) both of which are pronounced HAIM-ISH. So, I guess it's really more of a phonetic rendering than an Anglicisation.

Bonnd. Seumas Mac Boinnd
