No. In the time of Christ in the Middle East, people were not really named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. We only know the real name of Luke, which was Loukas. We know that because he was a Greek and the New Testament was written in Greek. The other three had Aramaic names and a Greek transliteration is given in The Bible. The earliest New Testaments were written in Greek.

Jerome translated the Greek Bible into Latin creating the Vulgate. Wycliff translated the Vulgate into English. At that time English did not use standard spelling. He spelled the names like they sounded at the time. Thus tradition in using these English names for similar sounding Biblical names in the Vulgate dates back a long time.

What is Jesus Christ's middle name?

Jesus Christ has many names, but none are considered middle names. Officially, Jesus has no middle name as that wasn't a tradition in ancient Hebrew culture. Also, Christ is not Jesus's last name. Christ comes from cross. He died for us on the cross. Hence, Christ, Jesus Christ. No middle name, no last name really. Just our Savior, for the believers and non-believers.
