Mistake in EE, should I decline ITA?

Hi,

I made the silly mistake to forget to add my second name in the first name(s) box of my EE application when I uploaded 8 months ago. Now that I got an ITA I can’t add the second name to the online forms because it replicates what was written in my EE without the chance to change it. Will this be a cause for rejection? Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I decline and re enter the pool with the correct information in that field?

All the documents that will be submitted have my second name as given name.

Thank you for your help

It appears that people didn't reject their ITAs and still successfully got their PR.
