Nobody checks for the TSA's scribbles; I've printed multiple copies of a boarding pass and used the unscribbled-on one at the gate.

Purchaser has to accept being called by OP's name if the GA mentions a name; no big deal.
you got to love the great advise you get on FT what's next? you need money? Why not rob a bank since there is money
Honestly, this can get you into trouble in so many ways it is never ever worth the risk.
