I recommend you to change your last name to Last name 2 at least. I do have the same long name in my identity and I took almost all of them that way with no issues.
But to quote from the AWS Training and Cert website:
Test administrators are instructed not to allow a candidate to test if the first and last names of the IDs and their AWS Certification Account are not identical. If the name on the My Profile page of your AWS Certification Account does not match your valid forms of identification, you must either change your name in your account two (2) business days before your exam or open a case with AWS Training and Certification Customer Service. Indicate that your name is incorrect on your AWS Certification Account and provide the correct name. AWS Training and Certification Customer Service will process this request as soon as possible. Do not schedule an exam until your request has been processed. Cancel an existing examination appointment before requesting an account update, and then reschedule after the request is processed to avoid confusion at the testing appointment. Customers can change their name in their Certification account two business days (48 hours) before their first exam. To change the name on your AWS Certification account, complete the following steps: Log in to your AWS certification account https://www.aws.training/. Go to the Profile tab, and then choose “Account” Enter your legal first and last name exactly as it appears on your government issued ID. Select “Update Information”.
