Gate agents call passengers names out for all sorts of reasons. They usually don't specify the reason over the PA, though, and just say "see the agent." I would assume it's the same here, and thus reasonably discrete. They probably only use the last name too.

So just thought it was refreshing to see enforcement of the boarding priorities but I also thought it was an unusual high number of CK's but then again probably one of the routes that would have the highest concentration. JFK to LHR earlier this week when CK announcement made about 10 people headed to board. The CK representative was waiting at the beginning of the priority lane and checked the BP names against his list and if not on the list he re-checked their BP and in at least 3 instances it was a lowly group one passenger trying to board (although I witnessed at least one group 6 try to get on but there might have been a language issue with her). Simple and efficient and as soon as the last one was through the BP scanner the GA called for Group one. The 7 (he did let the spouse of one CK board as well) were only about 1 minute ahead of everyone else but they did board first.
