Name

This family can't seriously be named after The Hardy Boys, can they?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.226.18 (talk) 00:38, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Hardie Boys' father was Reginald Hardie Boys, born in 1903, 24 years before the first Hardy Boys novel was published. It is more likely that the creator of the characters, Edward Stratemeyer, read the name in a newspaper and modified the spelling, or it could merely be conincidence. — Foxtrot1296 (talk)
