The main thing is your name on the ticket is the exact same as your passport !

Fear not it will all work out
Airlines to charge for name changes. Small mistakes like 1 wrong or missing letter is generally fine and merged first and middle names, too. Missing middle name for a western name I think is less of an issue than the Vietnamese example cited
