Typically, the travel name for the airline whose FFP you use is the name on the FFP account, and that in turn must match your travel ID name if you actually want to bok your own travel through that airline/FFP.
But it is very easy to book a flight using FFP for another person, right? And as long as the passenger name fully matches travel ID, no issues with TSA, etc.
