Unhappy First name is mistake in passenger details

Hello Everyone,
I am a first time air traveler. So, I have no idea if this is even a problem.
But, I realized it only a day after that the agent put extra letters in my first name during booking. Hence, I am unable to change it now.
The real name is Aakash, but the passenger first name is written as AakashMr. So stupid!
Will this be a problem? If so, is there a way I can edit it?
By the way, my ticket is from Nepal to Doha to Cincinnati.

Thank you!

This is a regularly asked question and is not a problem. Different airline booking systems will often jumble up names/titles as you've described.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

I'm going to move this to a forum more suited to the topic, where you will also have more people reading and probably providing useful answers.

Safe travels,

Without knowing if English is your first language: It doesn't seem as if your first name had extra letters added it it. Rather, it appears that your salutation (Mr., an abbreviation for mister) is simply crammed against your first name. English speaking agents and immigration officials shouldn't look twice at it.

This is normal for tickets, MR or MRS are put straight after the name, usually without a space.

"AAKASHMR" on the ticket is just MR AAKASH, nothing to worry about

This is normal. Don't worry about it. All my tickets look like this, sometimes with space and sometimes without a space.

And if you have multiple first names or middle names, don't be surprised it everything is printed as one word.
