I call the monster Frankenstein

I call the monster Frankenstein as well, but who cares, really. Why are you coming here to make a public proclamation about it? You can call the monster Tobey for all I care. Just use the terminology you feel is correct, and leave it at that.

When I was little, I always thought The Monsters name was Frankenstein?

Personally I always called the Monster "Frankenstein," and I remember in elementary school I always thought that's what the monster was called aside from a few anal students who insisted and always had to point out "The scientist is called Frankenstein! NOT the Monster!"

Really it isn't a big deal anyway, since when Dr. Frankenstein sets out to make the Monster, he sets out to make a human, not a monster. This would make the Monster more like Victor Frankenstein's son in a way. In fact, I remember reading the book and the Monster at several points (since in the book the Monster actually talks) states that he considered Dr. Frankenstein his father, so since Frankenstein is only a surname it would make sense for the Monster to be called "Frankenstein" as well.

It doesn't bother me since if you say Frankenstein to refer to the Monster since people automatically know what you're talking about anyway.

Can't be too careful with all those weirdos running around.

That's cool. There's no law against being wrong and stupid.

Slaves in the West Indies took the surname of their masters. It seems reasonable that the monster would have taken the name of Frankenstein.

I call him "Frankensteen" http://youtu.be/nxxSIX3fmmo

Can you say ego?

I'm absolutely certain Imdb is full of people just devoting their lives to stopping you from calling the Monster Frankenstein.

Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you. Justice was finally served.

Lots of people do so you aren't the only one. People don't like when there's not a name for something.
