In short, no, your wife cannot use TTFs linked to your name - you must use them. However, as a tiny consolation, if your wife earns the CP and designates you as her companion, you can use those TTFs for the $2.50-$5.00 each way security fees on your companion booking.
However, you would not be at a complete loss if all of your travel is as a companion (and have little use for TTF) and you still have unused TTFs that expire. You can combine them (before they expire) and have them reissued (for a $75 fee) as a LUV voucher that your wife could use. Depending on how much TTF value you have, this could be a good strategy.
