I peeked through the historically reserved numbers list, and there was a surprising number of what looked like individuals listed in there. Of the 10,000 numbers available in 555 prefix, most of them seemed to be individuals. I wonder what the story was there... Were people just doing it because they could contact the NANPA and ask for one?

I assumed individual professionals, things like an agent or a lawyer. Particularly as I saw an example where several different names redirected to the same number.

Any idea what the second column is? It's labeled "CL" with the possible responses of L, N, R, or D. R seems to be reserved, D in dispute but L and N I can't place.
