I think this is the problem. How does your FF account look? Sometimes this is the "Master" and overrides the data entered. If FF account correct?

It worked out and they eventually let her through, but it was the system that messed it up.
By "they gave her trouble," I assume you mean that it took her 2 extra minutes or less at security? This is not really a problem. It does not cause people to miss their flight or anything remotely impactful.

Even Henry Charles Albert David Windsor can book as Harry Windsor (if he even ever flew commercial). Not sure why everyone else is so precious.
