Two passports with "different" names [duplicate]

I have 2 passports with same name but different first name and surname, I need to use both in my next travel.

Passport 1 - Name: João Manuel 
             Surname: da Silva Couto 
Passport 2 - Name: João Manuel da Silva 
             Surname: Couto.

Will I have problems on check-in or at immigration?

Without know the specifics, it is impossible to give you an absolute answer. Since you have tagged this question as dual-nationality, this answer assumes that you have one passport for each nationality and they should be both valid (an invalid passport is a different issue).

First of all, middle and second names are usually not a problem. Sometimes they get abbreviated or omitted even. Your first name matches in both cases and so does your second last name, so it would be fair to say that there would be little doubt these are not for the same person, particularly since your date-of-birth and place-of-birth (if specified) also match.

Most importantly, immigration rarely asks to see more than one passport at a given point. You may be even able to travel with just one but if both are in fact needed for a particular trip, then you show one to immigration at your home country (when exiting on your way out and entering on your way back) and the other at your destination country (on your way and out). You also show the passport for your home country at check-in but that is to validate that you can be let in at the destination. A few countries have no exit immigration step, so nothing to show there.

Thanks... Answer: There is no guarantee that you would have problems using two passport with different names in them but it is quite likely that you will. Passports should be used which have your current legal name in them.

Can you have more than one passport? Yes. U.S. citizens are allowed to have more than one valid U.S. passport at the same time, according to the National Passport Information Center, which is a division of the U.S. State Department.

What happens if you have two passports?

The general rule of thumb for dual nationals going to one of their countries is enter and exit on that country's passport. Dual national US citizens must use their US passport when entering and leaving the United States, which after all makes sense: You're an American leaving, or returning to, America.
