Lenders Cards Names

I'm curious, does anyone know how a lender came up with the name to advertise on their cards? What i mean is:

 

Chase: D. Barrett

Amex: C F Frost

Cap1: Lee M Cardholder

 

Anyone know why those names? And not just John Smith for every lender. 

BK7 - 2/21
Cap1 QS - 2k (4/21)
Mission Lane - 4k (11/21)
Venmo - 900 (11/21)
SavorOne - 2500 (12/21)
VentureOne - 2000 (7/22)

The only one I know about for sure is C.F. Frost... he was actually a real person.

 

Here's a link:

Edited to add:  I don't know about D. Barrett, but I'm fairly certain 'Lee M. Cardholder' is fictitious... although perhaps 'Lee' is significant.
