Passenger names on Eurostar tickets vs Passports?

No -- using a middle name is not common in Europe.

The irony about middle names is that I go by my middle name, but, for the purposes of travel, I have to use my given first name. Sometimes, I fail to respond right away when I'm addressed with that name. Same with suffixes. They're on our passports but never requested in the UK or Europe.

@Reederman I feel your pain. Every single application asks for your first name, middle initial, last name, so you are stuck with it. At least when someone addresses by you by your first name, you know they have no idea who you are.

Thanks everyone. So it sounds like we shouldn't have an issue going through passport control and boarding the train. Fingers crossed!

You'll be fine - I just checked my recent Eurostar ticket and it doesn't have my middle name whereas my passport does.

It's similar to air tickets - I don't normally use my middle name on them, and have never had a problem.

This isn't an issue, you can rest assured !

I have never put my middle name on a train ticket, Eurostar included, and have never had any problem.

Thank everyone for your insights! I feel so much better now!
