Parent's name while applying for naturalisation

Hi all,
The spelling of my mother's name appears differently in her Bangladeshi passport than my Bangladeshi passport.

Now that I am applying for British Naturalisation, which one should I give?

If I now give the one that is in my passport and later apply for her visit visa using the name shown in her passport will it be considered as deception?

Is there any way to use the name shown in her passport but then explain in some way to UKBA?

Thank you.

Hello

Use the name as it appears on your passport not on hers. They are never going to ask you details about her for the citizenship.

By the way, how her name is spelt in your birth certificate?

Don't worry about visitor visas. They are not going to cross check them against naturalisation applications. And they are well aware that in many countries names are not... exact science.

Thank you Zerubbabel. In my birth certificate it is written as in my passport.
