It's like that in Filipino Catholic families as well. Although it's also customary for the baby to receive the mother's maiden name as his/her middle name.
My parents were smoking something when they gave me 6 middle names (7, if you count my Confirmation name) at birth. Each name honors someone in my family or a place significant to my father's Hawaiian heritage.

I know of an Irish Protestant family that likes to use several middle names, too! 
I think they did Suri a favor - she's going to be so messed up with the Scientology crap that trying to remember a middle name too would just tax her little brain.

This German Catholic was given/bapitized with one middle name at birth - Jayne, and then when I was confirmed I picked another one - Catherine. Although I think some people in my Confirmation Class just kept their middle name instead of taking another name.
As far as Suri not having a middle name, I don't think it's that big of a deal. Didn't Harry Truman only have a middle initial, and not a middle name, or is that just an urban legend? Besides, this kid has got such messed up parents, I think not having a middle name is going to be the least of her worries.

My parents didn't give any of their 3 kids a middle name. I had no problems growing up with no middle name / no middle initial.
Both my sister & I now use our maiden name as our middle names. And we all gave our children middle names... it's a parents' choice.
As for Suri's strawberry/birthmark - LOTS of kids are born with these & they do usually fade after a few years.
And, I don't know - call me weird, but I don't think it's 100% WRONG for a parent to cover it up with makeup for a major occasion like their own wedding. Daily basis, yeah, that's weird... but I don't think it's so wrong for them to try to cover it up for a wedding.

No one said it was wrong to cover it up for a wedding. No one said it was wrong to cover it up on a daily basis. (Although, I almost feel it would be bad if they DIDN'T cover it up. I am sure the press would love to get a hold of shots of a less than perfect Suri.)
It was the first time I had noticed it. Just wanted to see if anyone else had seen what I had seen. She's a gorgeous child.

Her middle name should be Xenu!

No...did you think I was? Why would I be? I'm mostly French/Scottish, with probably a little bit of everything else.
