Here's another thread about pronunciation 
)
Although this time, it's not about Adele's song, but a scene in the film:
This is not something that bothers me, but just wanted to nitpick for fun and curiosity. Any ideas anyone?

Is it me, or did Kincade address M as Emma? I am sure he called her that, and I heard it twice I think.
Which of these possible reasons do you think explains this?:
1 - Kincade misheard bond when he said her name was M - an error on Kincade's part.
2 - Albert Finney's pronunciation was poor, and he was supposed to say M but delivered it wrong.
3 - M's real name is infact Emma. And bond did say Emma, but pronounced it wrong, as M.

That makes sense. It never crossed my mind that bond didn't say where he knew M from. Sounds like you're probably right.

'M' cannot stand for Emma ?:)
No it can't 'stand' for it, but it's wordplay like 'Em' and 'Emma'...
Or not, who knows.

Her real name is Barbara Mawdsley, hence M.

think of this as "alternate universe" territory, if you are into your Sci Fi. The Craig films are a restart, so everythig that happened if the previous films are a seperate framework. So yes, M in CR - Skyfall IS Barbara Mawdsley, but a different one. Her lines to Villiers about missing the Cold War imply she has been active in espoinage for a very long time, wheras The Brosnan era version of Mawdsley had to prove herself from the start.
Ie same actress, but a different version of the same character. - I think!
Re Kincade's reaction to M's name, I have a friend at work called Ema, I call her "Ems's" for short. If someone was not paying attention , I suppose they could assume I am calling her "M".
