In 2019, I passed the Live in UK test, I received a certificate and then somehow later I noticed that where in the First Name column there is a Last Name and in the last name column there is my name (vice versa). I called the relevant authorities by phone and they was assured me that there is not a big deal this and when I apply for citizenship it can not be a reason for refusal.
Now I would like to know maybe someone had the same case in past. My question is regarding all this, in which I did not find an clear answer on the web. Can this really be a reason (vice versa) for refusing to grant me citizenship of UK or not? And what should I do in this case? Thank you.

If it was accepted at ILR stage, no issues for Naturalisation. Just submit the same.
PS: If you were exempt for LIUK at ILR stage, just add a cover letter and submit the same. Should be okay.

As a European I already got settle status which does not require this certificate.

No issue at all. Many had this vice versa and experienced no problems.

I intend to apply for naturalization process in next months based on my settled status. I don't need to do nothing about this misunderstanding? Any cover letter or...?

As long as the name, whichever way round it is, matches your passport, there is no issue.

Soon I intend to start my naturalization process. In guidance I have found that I need 2 referees and one should be from professional standing. In list of profession I found Accountant. I know for many years a person which is Account assistant and I would like to know if is it alright person or not to be my referee from professional standing. Thank you.

Referee with professional standing means someone who is a member of the professional body for a particular field, like accounting, law, etc. If person is a member of CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW, etc, then s/he counts as a professional. Otherwise you will need to find another referee.
