The Japanese don't have middle names. Without middle names how do you know if you've gotten on your mother's very last, extremely frayed, nerve and are now in danger of being grounded for life if you push her one more micron?

If they could they probably would.

Are there no belittling diminutives in Japanese?

I'm not sure, I don't know enough about the language. I know that the form of "You" you use can be insulting. Alos, using the honorific kun for an adult male who isn't very much younger than you would count but that wouldn't work with a kid.
