Names on Reservation

[DisneyStarWisher]

I am getting ready to book a room for a friend. I've never made a reservation where someone's name they go by is different than their official name. This does not apply to the lead person, so can I use the name they go by, or must all the names be exactly as they appear on identification?

Just put the name they go by.

Thinking off the top of my head, perhaps best to go with the name they use on their MDE account, so it can be linked up easily?

If they will be checking in separately from the "lead" guest, use the name that is on their ID.

Actually after thinking about this some more, the issue does apply to the lead person too. She goes by Lee Ann, Lee being her first and Ann being her middle. I put her first name as Lee Ann, because otherwise it would have only allowed me to put Lee A since it allows for only a middle initial. Should I change it?

No need. Especially with the advent of online checkin, Disney doesn't insist that photo ID match the name of the primary or any other guest. She'll be fine as Lee Ann on the reservation.
