Mysterious Middle Initial	comment	Many fictional characters' names are shown as a first name, last name, and a middle initial in between. If this initial is short for a longer name, it's never stated in Canon. A Mysterious Middle Initial could also be the entire middle name, or a joke about the character's lack of an actual middle name, or an attempt to conceal an Embarrassing Middle Name. This is most likely because, it's easier to remember a middle initial (e.g.: "Robert J. Smith") rather than a full middle name (e.g.: "Robert James Smith") regardless of whether or not said middle initial actually stands for anything. It's going to become especially egregious in anime when a character with a very Japanese name has an English middle initial.

The problem was that he didn't know what W.E.B. stood for (having been a slave, his education was spotty), and he didn't have time to look it up, so he just made W.E.B his first name (he's usually called Web).

Alucard's middle name, Farenheights, is actually revealed in the Japanese manual and is later mentioned in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Farenheights is speculated to be his mother Lisa's last/maiden name. According to rumors, Trevor C. Belmont's middle initial stands for Christopher. Originally, Castlevania III was supposed to feature Christopher Belmont (Simon's predecessor mentioned in the Japanese manual for Castlevania), but he ended up being the protagonist of Castlevania: The Adventure for the Game Boy instead, forcing the developers to come up with another Belmont for the third NES game. The middle initial was thrown in as a hint of the developers' original intentions.

It was first mentioned in the semi-canon animated series, but it was confirmed in Star Trek VI. William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation was thought to be a shout-out to James Tiberius Kirk, but was revealed in a later season to just be "Thomas". Prior to this, in a (non-canon) novel Peter David had given it as 'Thelonius', probably in a homage to Kirk's style of middle name, or a homage to jazz musician Thelonious Monk and a reference to Riker's trombone playing. He attempted to Retcon this with 'Thomas Thelonius' in a later novel. Even more mysterious is James R. Kirk's middle name, in the second pilot, Where No Man Has Gone Before. It's never used in dialogue, but is seen on a tombstone that Gary Mitchell produces for him during their final confrontation. One unofficial explanation offered over the years is that despite his newly-gained powers Mitchell simply made a mistake.

Mysterious Middle Initial / int_eef69f10	comment	Sherlock Holmes's biographer, Dr. John H. Watson. You can make a pretty good case for the 'H' standing for either 'Hamish' or 'Henry.' In 'The Man with the Twisted Lip' Mrs. Watson calls the good doctor 'James,' and it is proposed that is a pet nickname/pun derived from his middle name (Hamish is the Scottish variant of 'James') Otherwise, this would mean that Mrs. Watson forgot her husband's name, which would be a bad thing. Alternatively, he could be named after Cardinal John Henry Newman, who was an influential figure around the time Watson would have been born, and a lot of people were named after him. Henry is a fairly safe bet because it was probably the most common male name beginning with H at the time... ...Though from the Doylist perspective, it's just as likely his creator forgot. Arthur Conan Doyle was notorious for changing names in the books, which is why Holmes's landlady is sometimes Mrs Hudson... and sometimes not. So if the H ever stood for something, there's no guarantee it was just one name.
