On the e-ticket, the first and middle names are combined, as well as any multiple last names.?

Question

Hi,

I reserved a flight through Orbitz. Just for the sake of discussion, I'll use a fictional name to help with my question. Let's say that the passenger's first name in question is "Amanda Lynn" and her last name is "Viola Violet"

When I purchased the ticket through Orbitz, I put a space between Amanda and Lynn; likewise for Viola and Violet. However, on my e-ticket, it shows "AMANDALYNN VIOLAVIOLET", without the space between the first/middle name and between the two last names. All the names are in the passport but with a space in between them.

It wouldn't seem necessary to try to get that "fixed" because all the agent has to do is to look at the passport and the reservation information or something. This is for an international flight. You think I ought to bring a receipt of the e-ticket just in case? Or should I not worry about the names and no spaces between them? Thanks.

We have this problem when my friend from Iceland comes to visit. I don't think I will ever understand fully Icelandic names but I do know that It's important for them to spell it correctly and my friend's name almost always gets spaces left out. There has never been any trouble since all the letters are there. Once in a while someone does a double take looking at it, then it's Okay once they realize spaces have been left out.
