You must correct your naturalisation cert first. the passport office cannot process if the name cannot be matched.

You may also asked to submit the passport of the country of origin. the name will also have to match with the british passport. If not, they will ask you to change the name.

You are missing the point that it is not the CURRENT name that is an error but the name at BIRTH, which does not get printed on the passport anyway.
