Im an indian citizen born in uae.My spouse’s company started green card process and we want to file i-485 with my place of birth to reduce green card back log.The problem is that i only have my first name in my birth certificate.Does that matter while applying for green card?!!!

Your birth certificate needs to include your full name, mothers name, fathers name and date&time of birth

you should try to get the consulate of your birth country to send you a new birth certificate. I had mine within a month

But consular birth certificates are not acceptable for green card,right??

no not from the consulate in the US unfortunately, but you birth country which in your case is UAE. You must obtain the birth certificate from the issuing authority in your country of birth.

Supporting documents like affidavits from my parents are not enough?

I don't have personal experience so can't comment to the situation. Processing is purely dependent on how your officer chooses to proceed. My last name was spelled incorrectly and I had no issue for GC, citizenship and when I sponsored my parents. I see you have two possible choices
1. Submit your birth certificate as is and see if you get RFE. In the background continue working to get counsular birth certificate with full name
2. Get the counsular birth certificate but this might just delay things and add time

you mean indian consulate in uae?!!

Not really familiar with counsular. But my best guess will be UAE consulate in US as you are born there.
