008 - what's in a name?

Could anyone let me know the source of the surname 'Timothy' for agent 008?

In Moonraker he is only referred to as 'Bill', yet several fan sites have his name as Bill Timothy. Just interested to know where that comes from.

Thanks!

    The ‘source’ of the name is from a computer game for the Nintendo Game Boy called James Bond 007 from 1998
