It took a long time to figure out that the Kerenskys own most of the shopping malls in the inner sphere as well as most of the golf courses based on the Mechbavagita and the Epic of Mechgamesh.
Then, things start getting nutty. Every username on this board is some obscure reference to these seminal tales of daring do.
There's some Duncan guy associated with solaris, and one clan that worships the great mechfather, Koniving.
So, without telling me every single name in the lore, can you please tell me who the Kerenskys actually are and maybe the other top 5 most commonly referred to indivduals/families that users choose to name themselves after?

After a big cataclysmic event (Ursupation of the Star League Throne by Stefan Amaris) and a couple dozens of years fighing for the Inner Sphere, the League was in shambles. Kerensky then led a major part of the Star League military (SLDF) into an exile, they became the Clans. The founder was Nicolas Kerensky was the son of Aleksandr Kerensky.

Aleksandr's two sons, Nicholas Kerensky and Andery Kerensky, would go on to found the Clans from the surviving remnants of the SLDF forces that followed their father into exile.
Duncan Fisher is an announcer on Solaris VII, who was introduced as a character in Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. If you look up the name on youtube, you'll be able to find some bloopers from voice work.
What were some of the other names you were interested in knowing more about?

OK then, who is the Kerensky of the Inner Sphere after the Kerenskys leave?

George Ledoux as the Highlander (and I'm assuming the Shadowhawk) in "Cool."
Duncan Fisher in Solaris (within Mechwarrior 4)
Duncan Fisher bloopers
Duncan Fisher Minute...
The voice of Kerensky as read/acted by George Ledoux
Though Alexsandr Kerensky is the man who pulled that the Inner Sphere's largest military force out of the IS and sent them deep into the stars beyond the Periphery... however it is his son Nicholas Kerensky that spawned the "Clans" that would be bred and engineered out of the elite of the elite.

Descendants and other relatives.
Some are real, some are fanfictions or "fanmade". I don't pay as much attention to the little people to be honest. Only reason I know about the ones I do know about (such as Danielle...Paterson was it? of Pretty Baby fame) is because they have tales associated with their mechs.
Andrej doesn't exist, least not according to Sarna.

Andery is evidently the younger brother of Nicholas and a Clan Wolf Instructor.

Did get it. Thank you. Course now I gotta hook up with my former Chinese-English student and friend to get that really good translator that does English in a Chinese accent. So perfect for a Liao computer.
Experimented computer voice splicing; though this was video editing.
Side note: Computer voices and other excerpts from MW2, 3, 4, and MWO closed beta (pre-release "betty").
2:55 for MW3
4:07 MWO Pre-release Betty and MWO Commander Command Voice (never released)
6:07 MW4 voices -- specifically just a few of them but I thought it was really interesting because there were several voices. Some kinda hot.

I like when people take an interesting Lore name. Look at Pat Kell who I've ben able to run a few times with playing FW. Kell's Commandos are one of the top units in the game IMO. He is also a cool guy.
Unlike that backstabbing Heavy Cavalry. I only play this game for a chance to kill him......(OK, I'm semi just kidding..lol)

As for the reason there are so many people named Kerensky,
When the Clans were founded having a surname became a rair privelidge, they could only be earned by excepional warriors, if I remember correctly each of the 20 Clans had 25 bloodnames, 1 for each of their founding warriors and 25 warriors could hold each name, the Wolves got 2 Kerinsky bloodnames, 1 each for Alexandr and Nichalos, so there could be 50 warriors named Kerensky.
When the Clans sent the Wolf Dragoons to gather inteligace on the Inner Sphere their forces included the bloodnamed warrior Natasha Kerensky
Other notible bloodnames include Ward and Pryde but there are many others, most of which are unique to a single Clan and can only be earned by warriors who can trace their genetic heritage back to one of the original warriors who formed the Clans

Definitely seen that.
Everybody seems to be a hero.
Who are the villains?

With the fall of the Star League there came an end to House CAMERON (Terran Hegemony, the center of the map).
The remaining 5 houses started to fight amongst themselves:
House DAVION of the Federated Suns
House KURITA of the Draconis Combine
House STEINER of the Lyran Commonwealth
House MARIK of the Free Worlds League
House LIAO of the Capellan Confederation
