I am seeing a prospect later today and from what I've seen of Cos House documentation I think he uses several first names, possibly for religious reasons. I have noticed other people doing this in the past.
He is the sole shareholder/director of a company that hasn't yet traded. In the incorporation documents he was called X Brown and in the Annual return he's just filed he calls himself Y Brown. The date of birth is exactly the same, and there is no indication of any shares changing hands.
Does anyone think there could be a problem in the future if his first name is not the same as the one on the incorporation documents?

Inconsistency at Companies House
Whilst the annual return has been accepted, it's likely that this has caused an 'inconsistency' on the company records.
See Companies House guidance at http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/infoAndGuide/faq/inconsistencies.shtml
This could cause problems if anyone was doing due diligence on the company in the future, and Companies House wouldn't issue a Certificate of Goodstanding for any company that had an inconsistency recorded.
You can correct this quite easily by filing a CH01 form changing the directors name from the one shown on the incorporation documents to the one shown on the Annual Return then everything matches.
