I think the Lloyd twins shared the Y because they were born with the same power, to imitate others, one with memories and the other with powers. I don't think there's anything more to it.

Yhwach himself is probably A because he's the first, A being the first letter. It might also stand for "The Almighty" or something, as he is the King. Uryû probably got A too since he's Yhwach's successor, and maybe "The Answer" to the Quincies' survival as he's the only Gemischt Quincy who survived the Auswählen. That's my theory.

As for the hostage thingy, it's a good theory. If Yhwach knows or finds out about Ichigo's friends, he might get someone to trick and kidnap them to use them as hostages to force Ichigo to cooperate with him. He's a clever bastard, he's already shown that he will use anything that can help him to win.
