Are you sure?
The first A319 went to easyJet Switzerland as HB-JZA and all A319s have followed in the -JZx sequence, later deliveries in the -JYx sequence. easyJet's first A319 was registered G-EZEA and all subsequent deliveries have been in the-EZxx sequence.
I think myTravel did the managers initials as registrations, I seem to remember something in an airliners magazine about it. G-NIKO lives on to this day in the TCX fleet, for example.
