Bowser's kids are punk rockers...

Any one else find it interesting that Bowser would name his kids after iconic human musicians and media personalities. Larry Koopa = Larry King (radio personality), Morton Downy Koopa = Mortan Downy Jr.(controversial 80's talk show host), Wendy O. Koopa = Wendy O. Williams (iconic punk singer of the Plasmatics), Iggy Koopa = Iggy Pop (iconic punk singer of the Stooges), Roy Koopa = Roy Orbison (famous rock n' roller), Lemmy Koopa = Lemmy Kilmister (iconic punk singer / bassist of Motorhead), Ludwig Von Koopa = Ludwig Van Beethoven (influential composer).

Never made the connection, and I don't think there is one. With the exception of Lemmy, they have very common names and could be inspired by a myriad of other people, or just made up. The people you named have nothing in common other than being famous.

Ludwig Van, Iggy, Wendy O, Morton Jr, are not very common at all. Certainly homages.
