You should write to UKVI with your reference stating the facts (send by signed-for mail and keep copy). Your certificate might show the incorrect name compared to your passport, which may give an issue when you apply for your British passport. Your name needs to be correct across all documents.

thank you so much - will do that!
i really hope they can change that in their system... such a silly oversight! :oops:

i also thought about writing an explanation letter and submitting along with the other documents when doing the biometrics but don't know if UKVI would take this? or they stick only to the required supporting documents?

thank you

Suggest you mention the mistake at your appointment and see what they suggest.
