Question Must passport, reservation, SkyPass, etc. names be exactly the same?

My passport name is John David Smith.
My SkyPass name is John Smith.
And to complicate matters further, I want to transfer some Chase Ultimate Rewards points into my SkyPass account to top it off for an award ticket. My Chase name is also John Smith.

Must all of these names be exactly the same for me to make the transfer? In other words, since I'm not changing my passport, must I change my SkyPass and Chase names to John David Smith and in turn make the reservation in that name?

The question is even more complicated for my wife and her account.
Both her passport and Skypass names are Jane Joan Smith Doe (with the two words Smith Doe being her last name; and the Smith is my last name).
Her Chase name is Jane Doe.

Any advice on what to do for her award ticket, which would be from miles already in her SkyPass account supplemented with her Ultimate Reward points transfer?

For what it's worth, we have a family account with SkyPass.

Thanks for any help.
