To add something to this fact, authors do not include first names for a reason. Nothing is included without intention. In my opinion, he is given no first name because his wife, Mathilde, is the center of attention and is self-centered, and she expects her husband to cater to her fancies for extravagant things, and indeed, he gives up money he had saved in order for her to buy a dress for the ball. Another reason he might not have been given a first name is due to the fact that he was a secondary character, not the primary one, which was Mathilde.
