Something similar happened, I somehow had a brain fart and when booking a ticket for my Brother In-law, I accidentally used his first name, but my last name.
I called AA after realizing my mistake and the nice agent suggested that instead of paying any fees, book a fully refundable ticket to anywhere, after clearing security refund it and then use the First Class ticket as booked.
I was somewhat amazed that an airline employee suggested that, but I did as instructed, explained the entire thing to my Brother In-law and he flew without issue in First Class on the ticket with his correct first name and my last name.
