Change of name display in aadhar

I am thinking of changing my name in aadhar card to that with expanded initials instead of just initials. I would like to ask the legal experts whether this slight change of display of name (not actually changing name) in aadhar card will affect my identity in future?
My other documents like Voters-ID, Driving license, bank accounts have just initials after name not expanded. Even my certificates, mark sheets and other such academic documents have just my name with initials. However passport and Pan card have my name with expanded initials displayed on it as it was mandatory there.
My subsequent intention is to change it to initials expanded name form in all other above mentioned documents as well, except for maybe my academic documents. Is this a good idea/thing to do ? As I am not actually changing my name, just the way it is displayed in my documents, will this cause any problems in establishing my identity in the future? Opinions of legal experts here are most welcome !!

Even the initials expanded denote your name alone, so what is your problem about it?
