Yes, my thought is that there will be NO problem. The rule, generally applied is that the names MUST be consistent, but because humans are involved in the entire process, the airlines allow for consistency and "identical-ness" to diverge.

For example, if you booked a ticket for John Smith and the passport name was John X. Smith - you're going to be fine.
If you booked for John X. Smith and the passport name was John A. Smith, you COULD have a problem.

Good luck

No such thing will occur. Relax and enjoy your trip.
