Well for a start it's number 3 on your list so you must like something about it...
Its my number 1, and that reason being is the fact Moore is clearly making a deal of the line and is emphasised by the great 'Bond Meets Solitaire' cue. Why does it make it a good thing? Because I would love to say my own name to someone like that, whilst George Martin's track kicks in. To conclude - coolness is what make Moore's my favourite!
1) Roger Moore
2) Sean Connery
3) Pierce Brosnan
4) Daniel Craig
5) Timothy Dalton
6) George Lazenby
The overall best "Bond, James Bond" moment for me is in the casino in Octopussy. Suaveness and coolness personified and, because of it, almost menacing for me.
Well, firstly I never said I hated it. Just think it's a tad overrated. I put it at four cause I think Lazenbys and Daltons are just too dull/bad to put above it. Not saying I don't like Moore's Bond though.

We should add a poll to this one, don't you think? ;))
I didn't know we could do that, but yes.
2. Craig- see above
3. Brosnan- cool
4. Connery- understated
5. Moore- confident
6. Lazenby- ummm, toss off(?)

I have to be honest, as much as I love him in CR I've always thought his line was jarring. I thought this the first time I saw it and I still think it now. There's just something awkward about it, you can almost see him thinking 'better not f*ck this up'.
I'm a die-hard Moore fan but I'd have to give it to Connery. I don't think there's ever been a delivery as good as in DN.

I really didn't like the way Lazenby said it with that goofy smile on his face. His was the only delivery that I hated. Everyone else made the line sound cool but with him, he was just a regular Joe Schmo saying his name.

2. Craig - also superb in CR
3. Brosnan - not for everyone, but I have always really liked the delivery
4. Moore - the highest he will ever come on a poll of mine...delivers the line well.
5. Dalton - too throwaway
6. Lazenby - hate his delivery
Brosnan - Also great, but lacks the confidence of Connery's delivery.
Craig - Works perfectly in the film, feels a little less than the others on its own though.
Moore - Also works great in the film considering the circumstances.
Dalton - Throwaway, but also works considering he's in a hurry.
Lazenby - Something just feels really odd about it.
Other than Lazenby they all work remarkably well.
I don't see how it's awkward or forced tbh. And opinions are beautiful things.

2. Moore - Sir Roger gives a golden delivery everytime!
3. Brosnan - The line in GoldenEye is magic on the ears.
4. Lazenby - Spoken with good confidence and style.
5. Craig - I think on Craig it feels a little too gruff maybe.
6. Dalton - The line just doesn't work for Dalton's intensity.
Connery and Moore might be tied for it though :D
2. Pierce Brosnan. - I grew up with Brosnan as Bond, and I've always loved the way he played the part. Sort of feminine with a touch of badassery. Especially in GoldenEye. Rewatching his other films now actually make me cringe.
3. Timothy Dalton. - I just always love that scene. He quickly answers the question, he doesnt have time for chit chatting with the girl.
4. Daniel Craig. - Rewatching that seen without the build-up, I feel like he doesnt really deliver the line that well. But it's pretty good nonetheless.
5. Roger Moore.. - He was a good Bond, but not my favorite delivery of the line.
6. George Lazenby. - Have to rewatch OHMSS. Probably my least watched Bond movie, but as I am listening to the audio book of it, I'm starting to like the story alot.
You're right. Dare we say... it was forced? It seems to me that if it would've been up to him, he wouldn't have said it.
