There's no such requirement. Most people don't have a passport even, only a DL. Passport name would only matter if you got PreCheck via Global Entry. Also the name on the reservation isn't what matters, it's the name in the Secure Flight Data fields. This can be slightly different in order to match the name on file for PreCheck/GE.
