First/middle name transposed - VN

I'm flying HAN-DAD in April on VN. On the VN website, when one fills in the "name" information, it reads "Middle and given name" after you fill in the "family name" (last name). I followed the instructions in the literal sense and placed my middle name first, followed by my first name.

Stupid me. Now my ticket reads "Mr (last name), (middle name) (first name). Obviously, that will not match what my passport says. Instead of reading, "Neumann, Alfred E", the ticket reads, "Neumann, E Alfred".

Any chance I can fly on this ticket? I'm not optimistic but opinions are welcome as to what I may or may not be able to do to mitigate the situation. (Yes, I should know better.)

Hangs head in shame.

Edit: I'm debating whether it's better to check in on line and hope the gate agent doesn't notice/let's it slide or pointing out the error upon arrival in HAN to VN staff prior to the flight.
