Iberia - "Second name" doesn't mean middle name.

Just booked a MAD-JFK (business) ticket with Iberia only to find that the name on the ticket is incorrect.

On the passenger information page it asks for:
NAME:
SURNAME:
SECOND NAME:

In the UK Second name means Middle name but after talking with an Iberia Rep. I'm told this means second surname to them! What! why not put "second surname" then? I know in Spain you have both parents name but the name field should clarify this for NON Spanish travelers.

My e-ticket has my name: SURNAME (SURNAME "Middle name"), FIRST NAME.


I'm concerned that they will cause a fuss when checking in at the airport. Could even refuse boarding?

I rather not cancel and re-book. Any one else had similar issue with IBERIA?
