Passport -wrong details

I have just re-newed my passport and it has come back with my middle name printed as Joan when my name is Jean .I sent in my still valid passport with all the correct details on it as proof if identity .
I travel in 3 weeks .
is it really worth reporting it to the Passport office this close to travelling?
Will I have problems using the passport ?
anyone else experienced this ?
Thanks for your help .

    Hi

    I would just use it to travel for your trip, although depending on where your travelling to that is

    If its USA I would say defo not as this wouldnt be what ESTA has

    If its just within the EU just go with it, the middle names wont be on your tickets

    When I did our ESTAs last weekend it only asked for Family Name and First(Given) Name.
