Maybe not. May could have done the job.
It's more visible in the widescreen version, but you can see it here 10 secs in:
And when Bond’s watch is lasering in the train earlier its hour hand skips back an hour between shots! : D
Alec: "You're late, 007."
Bond: "No, I'm early."
Alec: "No, you're late."
Bond: "Beg your pardon. Forgot to sync."
I can't think of another female character having a J name in the series.
@mtm ever noticed the watch in OP that when the tracker is on so is the stopwatch?
There is a scene where Bond comes to after being knocked out by Gobinda. The watch should have been running the entire time he is knocked out but when he comes to it is in the early seconds. Which indicates they started the gadget just before filming the scene. In reality it should have been running for hours between when he activates to when he comes to.
I have seen it and now it causes me to snicker every time I watch the movie.

Her given name is Giacinta, so no J there
Just now seeing this, thank you Q! :)>-
I know for the minor Bond Girls, but not for the 'main' ones, in the main ones, she's the only one with a J as her initial.
Yep, that's her real name, but people know her more as Jinx, her nickname, as what I've said in my original post, whether it's in the rankings or reviews, she's being simply called as Jinx (an obvious way to equal her with James), people remember her name more as Jinx than Giacinta, and 'Gia' has a J sound in there if pronounced, I think the Producers just made it subtle.
Just like Solitaire, no one remember her real name, Simone Latrelle, people know her as simply, Solitaire, or Octopussy, no one remember her as Octavia Smythe, it does also helped that's the main title of the film though, I think it's only Tracy whose both full name and nickname are well remembered by public (some are acknowledging her as Teresa, while some are acknowledging her as just Tracy), although I think many people were still simply call her as Tracy.
Jinx is her nickname though (like what I've said in my op), but of all the 'main' Bond girls (nickname or not) she's the only one with a J initial, well most people recognize and know her by her nickname Jinx anyway, just like Solitaire is for Solitaire (not Simone Latrelle).
Nice move there by the Producers, anyway, even her name Giacinta, if pronounced, has a sound of J in it ('Gia'), although it could've been better had the Producers really went straight and just make it J, I don't know why they've made it subtle, though.
I think it's very wishful thinking that Jinx was named in order to give her the same initial as James Bond. I think if they were to do that they would pick a name that had the exact same initials like Jane Brown or at least JB.
Either way it would serve no purpose.
It's more of an observation on what people think about their personal views on the Bond films, no matter how out there they are.
Vintage cars are a thing in Crossplot, so this might have been a very deliberate choice by the set decorator(s).
*The one on the left in the screenshot from Crossplot, is probably the same car you see on the top right in Bond's flat, but with a different frame and green matting/passe-partout.
To be honest I always thought the GF gunbarrel fanfare gets sampled in the car chase track in Spectre too, but it's probably just being played in a very similar way.
Interestingly, I always thought he was whistling "Moon River," which leads us to a whole other discussion.
In any case...
I just watched YOLT for about the 101st time, and noticed this for the first time: when Bond takes out the final helicopter (in the Little Nellie sequence), the helicopter crashes to the ground...and we see the pilot's body being ejected upon impact! How'd I not catch that the previous 100 times? :))
Nice one. I had to check it out and I also never realized it.
