Outside of Japan, they were all named after celebrities, mostly musicians:
Morton Koopa Jr. = Morton Downey Jr.
Iggy Koopa = Iggy Pop
Wendy O. Koopa = Wendy O. Williams
Lemmy Koopa = Lemmy Kilmeister
Roy Koopa = Roy Orbison
Ludwig Von Koopa = Ludwig Von Beethoven (Just as Morton is a Jr. for no one, Ludwig actually has a different last name: Von Koopa)
Larry Koopa = Could be anyone, really.
Also, there's a creature in the Super Mario World named "Reznor." Any coincidence that Miyamoto is a fan of various forms of Rock music, or that Trent Reznor is a gamer? Who knows.
