Ike's Possible Origin?

Laythe and Tylo I've no idea about.

Laythe is a city inside the Moon in an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel (The Moon Maid).

You've heard about the Mohole (singular), right? Yes, there was one in real life, though it was only about 600 feet deep, and thus never made it to the discontinuity.

Mr. Dwight Eisenhower created NASA and attempted to fund scientific education. It's a fair bet that this is why there's a moon named after him in KSP, IMHO.

former presidents are still addressed as President.

Moho means "Mother" in Kerbal. The Kerbals originated in Moho. They then stripmined it until there were absolutely no resources at all left, and had to leave. They also took all of its atmosphere.

Then they went to Eve. They named it Eve because moving to Eve was the "Eve" of a new era. Then they polluted the heck out of it turning it into what it is today. Also while there they redirected an asteroid for the first time, creating Eve's moon Gilly.

Then they went to Kerbin. Contrary to popular belief, the words "Kerbin" and "Kerbal" are completely unrelated. They named Kerbin "Kerbin" because they decided to attempt to "Curb in" their greedy industrial ways. This is why Kerbin is completely abandoned other than KSC, they all live in extremely minimalist structures underground.

They rename the planets they colonize. All the outer planets haven't been colonized yet and are thus have named based on other things.

soooo once they got to Kerbin they forgot everything about space travel and had to start from scratch again...?

[No one]

No, it's just that none of the major companies will sell much to your space program until you prove yourself by doing science.

They were all transported by one massive company. KSP is a new company, with lots to prove.

Also, their previous technology polluted the environment a lot, both to produce and to use. The government banned almost all of it when they moved to Kerbin.

I like this hypothesis. Good job.
