WES name difference

Hello Friends,
I'm re-applying for PR this year.
I already got an ECA from WES in 2018 but it expires this year.
It has my name as Anirudh Kumar M (WES account was created that way). And my name in all certificates is also Anirudh Kumar M.

My passport has my name as Anirudh Kumar Murugesan.
Is this name difference a problem?
Wondering if I should just request for additional copy of ECA (with name as it is), or create a new account with full name as in passport and repeat the whole ECA process...

Kindly guide me.

Creating new account is the best option as I think it is a bit hard (near to impossible) to get it ammended it from WES as they mention no changes can be done once evaluation is done.
