Please do not invent names for characters. If you don't hear a middle or last name for a character, don't try to invent one. When they are not there, it means it wasn't important to the story for the writers to give them a full name and you shouldn't try to do the work for the writers.

I see a lot of people do this. They think to themselves, "The character has to have a middle and a last name. I don't see one, so I'll make them up." Or it's an age, or it's parents/other relatives, or it's a birthdate, or it's a city they're born in.

They, and you, don't mean any harm by doing this, but at the very least, it's fan fiction, but it's also false information. A lot of people get in trouble by adding false information, especially if it happens after they've been asked not to.
