Applying for baby's first passport but name changed using space 17 on BC

Hi
Just looking for some advice. We added a first name to baby's BC and now just applying for passport. Are there any registrars that may be able to help, or even anybody who has applied for baby's first passport following this.
When applying, it asks whether baby's name is on the BC, so I tick yes, right? Because it is, even though in space 17.
It then asks if baby has ever been known by any other name. Assuming I have to tick yes to this too? Will they require any further evidence or will the fact that the old name and the new name are both on the BC be sufficient?
