In the past I've has an issue where no one wanted to change fist name typo, I then called in to add my frequent flyer number ( without mentioning the name error) they told me the names dont match exactly,  so they updated the ticket to match frequent flyer.

IATA only allows three letters to be changed in the instance of a spelling mistake.

With 1 letter being off? Who made a huge issue?
Someone I know had an issue getting through with Moishe instead of Moshe in LHR. He ended up missing his flight and getting rebooked on the next available flight.
