When we say our name we can say different things, as you can see on the video. For example:

- I'm James Bond
- I'm James (informal)
- I'm Bond (formal)
- I'm Mr Bond (more formal)
- I'm Bond, James Bond (formal, very common in England)

- My name's James Bond

Notice the use of "Mr". This must always go with the surname, with or without the first name, but the surname must always be present:


Mr Bond
Mr James Bond
Not: Mr James
