Well Moneypenny, before her identity was made official, was marketed as a Bond girl. She could have been another MI6 agent, but that wouldn't stop her being a Bond girl. After all, Molly Warmflash was one.
Moneypenny wasn't part of the regular supporting cast either at this point but had only been introduced for the first time in this film. Do you consider she was a Bond girl at the start of Skyfall, but then stopped being one the moment she officially revealed her name was Moneypenny?
If she had a different name, then yes, I would consider her a proper Bond girl. But Moneypenny has been a well-known and established member of his supporting cast since Day 1. That makes her different. Molly Warmflash was in one film. Moneypenny was in 22 (24 if you count NSNA and CR 67). Technically you could say she is, but almost nobody considers her one because of it.
