Odd. Also, I notice that under the traveler info for each reservation, it has my known traveler number but not my passport number or emergency contact info. I can input it, but it is not there when I look again. On the other hand, all that is still in my profile. Also odd. Well, we will see if any of this makes a difference.
I currently have 4 bookings showing flights, partly booked through United, partly through expedia, partly through Air Canada - every single one shows a different permutation of my name, even the two that were booked through United. Some of them have Mr., some don't, one has only my first middle initial, one both my middle names joined together with my first name. (I haven't even bothered looking at the API data yet, I'll have to do that per flight closer to the time I guess.)
I doubt it'll make any difference - in the past with different airlines I've not had any issues with just about every permutation possible (my biggest pet peeve is that Swiss insist on concatenating my names into the first name, i.e. my first name for them is FirstMiddle1Middle2 without any spaces - they require both "first" and last name when accessing a booking online, which was needlessly confusing).
