    As the others have said, you need to enter passenger details at the time of booking as per the passport details so your partner has made a mistake here.

    Even RyanAir and Easyjet do the same.

    So if their T&Cs state no duplicate name bookings then so be it.

    You'll need to check the T&Cs carefully.

    You could of course change your name by deed poll to that of your partner and get a new passport issued in that name then insist that BA reinstate the tickets as you just happen to have the same name...

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
