When booking a ticket, you always use your first given name and last name as it appears on your passport or identity card. It often happens that people use their nickname, even though it does not appear on their passport. If you have several (baptismal) names, you only need to use the first one on your ticket.

That's because your airline profile and/or the information on your ticket will match your Secure Flight passenger information.
