The worst that ever happened to me was that I needed to tell check-in agents what name to look under to find my booking. That's in about a quarter-century of serious travel, well over a million real butt-in-seat miles*, and several U.S. passports with extra pages that were pretty full. I really do know what I'm talking about here.
