Yes, Kirk's middle name WAS revealed, but not in the series. It was
given in one of the ST cartoons (which one exactly, I can't remember).

Looking for better things to do with Saturday mornings,

What about the episode where Kirk is court martialed for ejecting the
guy in the pod on yellow alert, I think you know the episode I am
relating to, when Kirk takes the stand and puts his palm on the computer
lie detector, doesn't it read out his entire record starting with his FULL
name ?

Nope!  The computer says only 'James T. Kirk'... The only
reference to Kirk's middle name that I have seen was in the
novelization of STTMP, by Kirk himself in the forward.

The cited episode (Court Martial) does provide material for
a real hummer of a trivia question:  

	What is James T. Kirk's serial number?

Unfortunately, I can't remember. Anyone?

I don't believe Kirk's full name is used until the TV cartoon releases
were done.  His name is spoken by a sloth/jello alien creature who is
telepathic, I don't recall the episode or the aliens names but each of
the aliens refer to Kirk as James Tiberius Kirk.

To quote the immortal Bill the Cat, "GACK".
