Married name on easyjet booking
I'd like to ask a question that is related to these two posts: (post 1 on "maiden name on easyjet booking") and (post 2 on "two given names and one surname"). I am aware that it is possibly a duplicate of number 2, but is was specific enough (both to the situation, and the airline) that I thought I would ask a separate question.
An easyjet booking was made, similar to the one in post 1, but it's the reverse:
The reservation was made with the name on the booking like this: AAAAA CCCCC. (AAAAA is the first name)
On the passport, the surname is written like this: BBBBB ep. CCCCC
(this is the French naming convention on passports of married women who opt to have the martial name on the passport, "ép." stands for "épouse" or spouse).
I wanted to find out if anyone knew if easyjet would accept this as is, or if there is a need to change the name on the booking (which obviously, implies fees).
The flight is from Paris to Marrakesh (CDG-RAK).
Thank you!

As OP didn't come back with "a straight answer from easyJet":
The page describing "Fees and Charges" describes a "Name change" as
If you would like to transfer your booking to a different passenger, you can do so for a fee, but without paying any fare difference. This is cheaper to do further in advance.
It also separately states:
If you make a spelling mistake, (e.g. Nick to Nicholas, or Joness to Jones) or need to change a title you can do this for no extra charge.
The scenario you describe seems to fit better under the free change for a "mistake" than a name change to "a different passenger"
