Writing my name on the back of my passport photos, acceptable or not?

I'm about to submit my passport application when I noticed that my name is not written on the back of my photos. The instructions state that the guarantor needs to write "I certify this is in true likeness of <my name>", date, and sign the back of my photos. However, I missed the part about my guarantor writing my name and asked her to only sign and date the back of the photos.

Now to save me and my aunt (my guarantor) the time and hassle (she lives around 1 and a half hours away from me and is busy most of the time), I am thinking of writing my name myself instead.

Would this be an issue? It's not like I'm going to forge her signature.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

You can go ahead and write your name by yourself, it doesn't matter. I did everything on my form by myself, the only thing my guarantor did was to sign. No one will ask you who wrote the name.
