Putting your full name up is probably riskier!

Mostly everyone who knows me, already know it as my social medias are my full birth name
If the account is showing in the same credit file as the rest of your accounts I donât see there being a issue.
When you generate a statement does it have your full name?
And you can choose a preferred name on a new card so maybe try that?
But ultimately youâll have to speak to monzo support to get things changed.

Yes itâs showing in the same credit file.
No, statements are in Sasha K Clark
I doubled checked and I definitely signed up with the correct name but it appears it automatically got changed
I have a middle name but not in monzo and I have no issues. As said if linked in your credit file then no bother!

My electoral roll is also missing the same 2 middle names after checking
One of my other bank accounts, when I get statements the address label has all of my middle initials in it, but on the statement itself the name listed as the account owner only includes my first middle name.
Iâve never had any problems as a result of this, so I think youâll be fine. It seems to be the case that the bank probably do have the full name stored, but different systems that pull the name out for displaying are pulling it out in different ways. Probably because legacy bank tech stacks werenât programmed with the expectation of people having more than one middle name, generally.

I have three middle names and regularly just use my first and last names.
Occasionally companies will decide to add in one or more of my middle names when they see my ID, but Iâve never had an issue with my credit file or obtaining credit because of this.
Interestingly on my Monzo account in the app it shows as First Name, Last Name. My monzo.me address is First Name, Middle Name 1, Last Name and my Monzo PDF statements show as First Name, Middle Names 1 & 2 (not 3), Last Name.

Did you sign up up with a driving licence which only has your middle initial on?

Shouldnât be a problem. I have some bank accounts with just first and last name, and others with a combination of first + some middle names + last name, and they all show up on the credit report fine.
The credit report uses a bunch of different data points (name, address, date of birth, which credit accounts you hold and when they were opened), so unless there is another Sasha K Clark or Sasha Clark who lives at the same address, born on the same day, and opened the same credit card accounts on the same dates as you, then youâll be fine.

I signed up with my driving license which has my full birth name on.
Because they also needed proof of address as I had just recently moved I also gave the letter that displays your NI number as luckily it arrived the morning I was joining because i misplayed the original letter, but this also had my full name on.
Itâs not a major deal that my electoral roll or bank donât contain all my middle names itâs just paranoia making me wonder if itâll cause issues for me down the line such as if I lost access to the account or attempted to do something and theyâre like âSorry we canât help you as the names donât matchâ
Thanks everyone else

But your passport must include your full birth name, mustnât it?
Also, my covid pass QR code (in Apple Wallet) only shows first and last name, even though the NHS has my full birth name. And my passport includes middle names. And there hasnât been a conflict there (probably because the QR code also displays date of birth prominently).
Fun fact, I tried to change my place of birth to the name of the city I was born in, rather than the administrative district (which is in that city). Didnât work. (Not doubting your comment about names, though.)
(I have seen other peopleâs passports with the name of my city, which is why I tried - and yes, it was a frivolous exercise 
)
