Should be called Frankensteins' Monster

Actually MANY people know that - They just don't care.
Technically it's true, but the name Frankenstein is now heavily tied to the monster itself as well as the creator.
In a way, though, it does fit.
Victor Frankenstein is the "father" of the monster.
There fore it could be assumed that the "child" may take the name.
(children taking the surname of their fathers is traditional in most cultures)
Remember, the monster has huge daddy-issues lol
The fact that Victor refused to give him a name was one of the greatest insults that drove the monster to the edge. Without a real name, the monster WAS just a monster. He wanted to be a real person very badly.
Think of him as Mr Frankenstein Jr. I'm sure that's what he'd prefer.
The monster didn't see himself as a monster - he was just yet another son abandoned by his father.

Very few people know this but Frankenstein is not actually the monsters name. He is referred to as Monster or in some cases Franeknsteins' Monster. The man that created it is named Frankenstein. The monster does not have a name. Thank you all for letting me educate you today!

I'm sure all the 8 year olds will be grateful for the info. As for everyone else yeah, like everybody knew that already.

Old news, everybody already knows that info. I bet you probably just learned that yourself, and assumed you were the first of your kind with new information.

The movie is more about the creator anyhow. If anything, the 1931 version should be called Frankenstein's Monster.

Frankenstein was the actual monster.

It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...

In the movie Son of Frankenstein Ygor says the Monster is named Frankenstein.
