I found this sentence in a article about classical lines in the movie. And this sentence which the writer said it's a humourous way to introduce yourself for the first time springs from the scene that the first time James Bond introduces him self to Sylvia Trench. I just can't feel it....... It seems that this means nothing to a person without such kind of watching experiences... Anyway, thank you

The article was written by someone actually named Shanthi Streat. And so, as an example of how the line from Dr. No ("My name is Bond, James Bond.") has become iconic in the English, he/she gives the example of how he/she would introduce him/herself to a stranger: "My name is Streat, Shanthi Streat." So if someone named John Smith wants to be "cool", he could introduce himself to a strange girl

The Bond line is so well known now that it has become a cliché, and few people would now introduce themselves in this manner, but at one time it was an unremarkable way for a man to introduce himself.

Too much water drowned the miller. Got it. It seems exactly hard to integrate into the different culture without such accumulation. Thank you!
