The passport is where all given names should be listed!
Even if you have your passport issued under an alias [as some countries still allow] or a shortened name due to the passport character limit (
which for UK passports is 30 characters for all surnames and 30 characters for all given names)), the full name as registered at birth or by deed poll should be shown on the accompanying observations page.
Otherwise, it cannot be accounted for why the passport and birth certificate don't match!
[Registering with the Dutch authorities was "fun" because they had no way of accounting for the registration of a person whose passport name and birth certificate name are different, as is the case for me]
