I am really worried about that....
What should I do?

I had this happen to my friend I was traveling with a couple of months ago. He has an Indian name and I had to book over the phone because of companion cert so naturally 3 times I spelled his name were not enough for the rep to get it right. When the confirmation came I called back and a rep said they made a note in the system and changed it there. When we checked in, the ticket agent saw the note and really wasn't that concerned anyway. The actual ticket she printed still showed the mispelled name, but the securtiy screener didn't care either. I can't imagine you'll have any problems at all.
