Easter-Egg Character?

Now, this may sound like a stupid theory (it probably will), but I've discovered something interesting from most of the Open-World games.
In Need for Speed: Underground 2, there is a street racer named Nesto, and apparently he owns a body shop in City Core. In Most Wanted (2005), there is also a street racer named Nesto. In Carbon, Nesto appears AGAIN. I don't know if he appears in U1, but this is something interesting. Either Black Box reused his name, or decided to put him in a few games as an easter-egg.

Here is what his story could be:
Nesto is a mechanic in Bayview, and seeing the street racing action there, he decides to become a street racer himself. After getting bored of Bayview, he moves to Rockport where he attempts to get onto the Blacklist. Nesto fails, and moves to Palmont. He is hired by a crew, and he remains in Palmont from then on.

Now, before you say that I have no proof, I do have proof. Look at U2, MW and Carbon. You will find Nesto at some point. His story is my imagination, of course, but it does make some sense. It is, however, my imagination. I hope that this isn't as stupid as it sounds, but if it is, sorry in advance.
