Probably not. Middle names are often omitted.

My EU passport has my maiden name in bold, while my US passport has only my married name.

It's no problem because if you enter the EU as an EU citizen then you can't claim to be a US citizen in any case.

Middle names are not common in many European countries. One of those cultural differences.

Well, here in Italy on my Irish passport! Entered it in delta fly ready. Checked in at airport and they scanned it in. Showed passport and facial scan to board plane. Used EU line in Italy with my American wife. Machine scans passport, facial scan and admitted to country. Wife got a stamp on her us passport. Showed mine to booth but no stamp needed. Enjoying Italy now!
