I just want her to be able to get credit for these flights without too much headache, and it would also be nice to be able to put her in E+ since she's 3P. One of my colleagues is dealing with this type of headache, where his MP name is FIRST/MIDDLE INITIAL/LAST w/ a JR suffix, and our TA keeps booking his tickets simply under FIRST/LAST. He's getting mileage credit, but the CSR's always have to force the number onto the itn. and he's never getting recognition as a 2P (no zone 1 or E+).
IMhO, First/last ONLY no middle, no prefix, no suffix, etc.

Also, I would leave ticket/account alone until you have ID completed that has updated name. But YMMV
