Why would you say this is a non issue? She's a young girl traveling alone and will get extremely worried and stressed if held up by customs.
Re another forum, which? I searched and couldn't find, and DID find almost the same subject discussed in this very forum a few years ago.

Dual citizenship is quite common and really not that big of a deal. The problem is that people don't understand that the airline and immigration are three separate mobs.
Right, true, but her issue is the 2 different name spellings. It's literally keeping her up at night...
On a related note, EU citizens do not have a right of abode. They can make use of the freedom of movement rights granted to them under EU law but they will not get right of abode (a term mostly used in Hong Kong) or indefinite leave to remain (the UK equivalent). As soon as they breach the freedom of movement requirements the UK can boot them out, unless they have in the meantime obtained indefinite leave to remain.
What do you mean by "right of abode"?
Are you saying that someone with an EU passport does not have "indefinite leave to remain" in the UK?
Apart from the passport/names issue, this is extremely important, as she wishes to stay for longer than 6 months.
