Eurail Pass name and seat reservation confirmation name difference

Hello, When I booked the Eurail pass, I mentioned the given name (first name + middle name)  under the first name section specified in the passport. I reserved the seat for an OBB Nightjet train directly through their website and during that time I specified only my First name. I did not include my middle name. So now the pass shows the name as my first name + middle name and the reservation ticket shows only my first name. 
Will it cause any issues while I board the train?  
Please advise.

That's no problem at all.

Middle name is not a big thing here anyway. Most people ignore them.

Thank you. I have one more question related to this topic.

When I bought the pass, I mentioned the name that appears in my passport which is my first name and middle name. When I tried to enter the name the last letter was missed due to 20 character length limit. 

So my Eurail pass misses the last letter from my middle name. Will it cause any problem when the ticket checker checks my pass and passport id? everything matches except the last letter from the middle name due to length issues.

That shouldn't be a problem.

I have 3 first names, which all appear in my passport, but I never use the 2nd and 3rd.
