First name in the residence permit is abbreviated

Hello,

My first name in the residence permit is abbreviated. in My passport, my first name is written as "John Taylor Joseph" but due to space constraints, in my residence permit it is written as "John T J" (this is just an example).

I am planning to travel outside EU for the first time after my 1 year D visa is expired. I am worried that I might face some issues while returning.

Any one have any experience with this?

A quick update. I didn’t face any issues anywhere while leaving or coming back.
