Will this be a problem? It's pretty expensive to change the name on all the tickets.

I'll be flying air transat from Vancouver,Canada to London.
Ryanair to Barcelona
Vueling to Munich and
Easyjet to London.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

I appreciate any feedback.

With the major airlines that are part of one of the big 3 airline alliances, this kind of situation hasn't been a problem for members of my travel parties. If it were to end up being an issue with any of the LCC named above, that would be diverging from routine industry practice -- routine practice being that one doesn't make any stink whatsoever about such situations and doesn't even mention anything about such issue to the airline unless prompted by the airline check-in rep.
