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.
On January 4, 1643, Isaac Newton was born in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England (using the old Julien calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642). He was the only son of a prosperous local farmer, also named Isaac Newton, who died three months before he was born.
