Thank you for your kind reply
For example, on my driver's license, First name is Johan Smith and Last Name is Anderson,
My father's name is Smith.
But in school, work etc. I am known as Johan, people only use the first given name And my signature only contains the name Johan.
In passport, we don't have a field for middle names, only a field called (Surname) and a field called (Given name(s)).
So, what should I write in ESTA? I would like to be on the safe side

I've travelled on an ESTA and ticket that didn't match (I booked the ticket in my first + last and my ESTA was in first + middle + last, and I was asked to come to the gate to verify names, but it wasn't a major issue.)

I would probably put the same on the ESTA as you did on the ticket - who are they to tell you that your name isn't first + first + last? Johan Smith in first, then your last in last, leave middle blank again? I have a friend Heidi Lou, and that is her first name, she would never put 'Lou' as a middle name in a form.
