By whom? When we applied for passports I (embarrassingly) misspelled DW's middle name on the application, Ann instead of Anne. It was spelled correctly on her naturalization certificate, but the passport folks still used the spelling that I put on the application. So I wouldn't expect that the processor at State would necessarily notice the difference between the birth certificate and the application. (To their credit they processed the correction at no charge.)    OP, I agree with @Fe
