Can your petition potentially be denied over factors that suggest that the marriage is not bona fide? Yes -- and there is a certain amount of subjectivity to that. It's difficult to believe that your petition would be denied if the only reason for suspicion were your wife's stumbling over the spelling of a particularly difficult name that she has not adopted for her own use, but your post suggests that there's a more complicated history than this being just about the surname. You will have to wait and see what happens.
