James Bond vs Jason Bourne

Does anyone think the JB initials were stolen from Bond intentional for Jason Bourne???

I think so- not sure if it's fact or supposition, but I've seen someone say say that Ludlum was bascially taking the idea of Bond as he is at the end of You Only Live Twice (where he's lost his memory) and expanding on it. What if James Bond never got his memory back? And what if he didn't like who he was?

The initial thing? Probably. The same thing could be said of Jack Bauer.

Or Jack Bristow (Alias).

Or Jim Beam.
