Why do some people not have a middle name? Is it a religious thing?

Answer 1

Not religious for me, my mom did not like middle names because her family called her by her middle name, which she disliked, instead of her first name which she did like-so she decided to forego middle names for me and my siblings.

Answer 2

uh no in some countries its not necissary and some just dont want to give their kid one
