It was perfectly normal to have no middle name. um... well.... Sir Isaac Newton didn't have a middle name. im serious. belive me. i knew that for 3 years already becasue we learned about him 3 years ago. i studied alot about him. <br /><br />[edit to improve]: During his time period, many people didn't have middle names, and some only had initials, such as Harry S. Truman.
Isaac Newton was born according to the Julian calendar (in use in England at the time) on Christmas Day, 25 December 1642 (NS 4 January 1643), at Woolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. His father, also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before.
