I looked around in this forum, but could not find an answer to my question. Last week we had a baptism of an older woman. She has 4 names. The baptizer used only 3 names and the next Sunday when she was confirmed the person used her 4 names. Is that a problem or is that OK?

Thanks in advance

The Handbook only says "full name" but doesn't slice and dice the issue from there.

I'd ask the mission president. Convert baptisms fall under his watch.

The mission president decided to re-baptism the person after we talked to him about the missing name.
