Middle name doesn’t match license

On my drivers license and passport my middle name is “C”, but in my ticket I wrote out my full middle name “Christine”. Is this going to cause an issue? Will I have to change it or is it fine?

I always use my fulll middle name on my tickets because my KTN uses my middle name to match my passport. I have used my license, which uses only my middle initial, many times with no problem.

Mismatching middle names should not cause a problem with TSA, especially if it's an initial versus full name.
