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.
Newton was born three months after the death of his father, a prosperous farmer also named Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton, Sr. was described as a wild and extravagant man. Born prematurely, young Isaac was a small child; his mother Hannah Ayscough reportedly said that he could have fitted inside a quart mug.
