In your situation, first and last name only which presumably would match would suffice taking away any unneeded stress. You don't need any middle names on your significant other's ticket.
Indeed. Unless dealing with a rather common name, I find there more benefit to leave out the middle name(s) than to include them. That said, when the names are there on government ID and using DHS Trusted Traveler programs, excluding middle names can sometimes result in issues.
