Well, if I write Johan Smith in the ESTA application (in the field first given name), and get an approval, will it still be a problem at check in or when I arrive in the U.S.?
It can work fine and generally does, but it won't necessarily be automatic no-issue at departure and/or arrival airport. People travel in such situations generally without any problem, but as
tanja mentions there are some idiots who may try to make a mountain out of a molehill.
If in your situation -- or with others in your situation in my travel party -- I wouldn't worry about it as things, under your circumstances mentioned above, almost certainly work out fine with the airline and passport control/immigration.
