X can mean one of several different groups. The original X were a group of street urchins who helped out Y from time to time, and were paid one shilling plus expenses per day for their work. The name for X was derived from the address of Y, which, today, is the site of a museum of Y. During world war II, the Special Operations Executive was set up by Winston Churchill to "to go everywhere, see everything and overhear everyone," similar to the street urchins who spied about London as they helped out Y. For this reason, and also because of the address of their headquarters (down the street from where Y lived), they were also known as X. The modern organization, X, was founded in 1934 by Christopher Morley for enthusiasts of Y, and included FDR, Harry Truman, Issac Asimov and Neil Gaiman, among others, as members.
Identify X and Y.

X= Baker Street Irregulars
Y= Sherlock Holmes
Y = Sherlock Holmes
X = Baker Street _____
X are the Baker Street irregulars or something like that I think
and
Y is Sherlock Holmes
Y sounds like Sherlock Holmes. The clues fit.
But if Y is Sherlock Holmes, I'm not sure what X is. Sherlock Holmes lived on Baker Street, so Y is the "Baker club" or something?
X - Baker Street Irregulars
Y - Sherlock Holmes
X is Baker Street Irregulars, and Y is Sherlock Holmes. All of you got it right, good job!
