Child British citizenship certificate - name error

Hi

I received British citizenship certificate for my 2 year old daughter who was born in UK.

The full name on the certificate just contains the last lastname/surname/family name.

I checked the application form where I correctly has given name and family name. Also her UK birth certificate has same given name and family name that I had put on the application form.

She is first one in the family who got the citizenship certificate so I am not sure how the name should appear on the certificate.
Should the certificate have the full name including the given name and family name ? If yes then what should I do to get it corrected by HO?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on this.

It needs to have the full name, same as birth certificate and foreign passport if the child has one. Get it corrected, it should be done for free as it is UKVI error.
