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.
Sir Isaac Newton was born on Dec. 25, 1642. He grew up in England and went to school at The King's School in Grantham. As Newton grew older, he attended Trinity College in Cambridge. It was here that he studied the teachings of Aristotle, Descartes and Galileo.
