It may be fine, but either of the following may occur:
The airport security may reject the passenger from entry if the names do not match exactly.
The airline may not allow the passenger to travel if the name does not match.
Either of the above would require a name change on the ticket, the airline may do this for free at the airport, they may charge a large change fee, or may require a new ticket is purchased.
Personally, I would try to have the name changed now rather than worry about it.
