At least in America I thought it was more a call back to the music man and because pun names are fun anyways.

In Germany they are known as Dick & Doof. Which would translate to (the) Thick & (the) Dumb.

Except that “flimflam” is a term in its own right. It refers to tricking someone out of their money.

I thought these names are common for the all language versions, but now I see originally it’s “Laurel and Hardy”.
First time when I heard “Flim and Flam” it was obvious for me that there is a reference.

Implying that flim flam is the same as flip flop.
Also implying that the Flim Flam brother where inspired by Laurel and Hardy…

both is wrong.
