Be nice if it had some sound to it, would it not?
Speaking of Avon, why is his last name used, & his 1st name rarely? Same for Blake, Roj Blake.
Avon's first name is usually given as Kerr, with a double r. However, it is occasionally spelled Ker, and in Darrow's noncanonical novel Avon: A Terrible Aspect, this is explained as a short form of his full name Kerguelen, roughly meaning desolation.

P.S. There is an island called Kerguelen island in the Indian ocean.

Oh, if only................
God, I loved that character.

It's just a quirk of the show, you could just as easily ask why they only use Vila's first name?
Avon is the man I agree.
It is somewhat more customary to call a person by their 1st name than vice/versa. If a persons last name sounds better, it makes some sense. Maverick for example instead of Bret. Avon certainly sounds better than Kerr, or Kerguelen, which is a very odd choice. Kerguelen was a French explorer who discovered the island in south Indian ocean, which was apparently named most useless island in the world in 95.
King Louis XV of France commissioned the French navigator, Chevalier Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec, to discover such a continent for France. Commanding two vessels of the Royal French Fleet, the Fortune and the Gros-Ventre, Kerguelen left Mauritius on January 16th, sailing through mist, fog and storms to discover the islands on February 12th, 1772.

A German commerce raiding ship hid out at this island & rebuilt it's motors perhaps the only interesting tidbit regarding the island.

One review I read pointed out that all the women in Blake's 7 are referred to by their first names and all the men by their last names... except for Vila. 
Going to agree. I have no idea what Blake's 7 has to do with the link.

Servalan probably isn't a first name, especially given she's Supreme Commander Servalan. Soolin is debatable as well, could be either, she's never given another name.
Well the Scorpio does look like a star destroyer...that's pretty tenuous though
