Incorrect Name on Eurail Pass & Seat Reservations — Will It Cause Issues?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice on an issue I’m facing.

My first name was captured as my english name (which does not match the name on my passport) on both my Eurail Pass and my seat reservation tickets — only my last name is correct. Unfortunately, the seat reservation names can’t be changed, and the only option support suggested was to cancel and rebook. However, because I booked as a group with my family, cancelling my portion would require cancelling everyone’s bookings as well, which isn’t ideal.

I’m worried about whether this name mismatch (incorrect first name but correct last name) will cause issues during ticket control checks on the trains.

For context, we will be travelling on several routes: London → Brussels, Brussels → Paris, Paris → Switzerland, and trips within Italy.

Has anyone encountered something similar? Would the incorrect first name cause problems during inspections?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated!
