I can get behind it being a first and last name simultaneously, but can it be a middle name if it’s not surrounded evenly on either side by another name.

I guess we could say it is equally surrounded by nothing and therefore in the middle. I’m overthinking!!

I see your point. It's much weirder to say one thing is also the middle thing. It's probably much safer to say you have a middle name only if you have an odd number of names greater than one. You safely (IMO) have two middle names if you have an even number of names greater than two.
