Names in CGI configuration don't need to be Nagios contacts. The only
difference that I know of it that the CGI will fill-in your name
automatically in commands.

What actually happens when a service go down is that Nagios runs the
Host check and sends a notification only if the host check returns UP.
This way you won't get paged for all services on the host when the host
is down.
