    Poor Frankenstein, never even had a NAME

    Imagine creating an atrocity that defies all the laws of god and man.

    After all this ....... you don't even give him a proper name... Ralph, Harvey or even something cool like Superzombie....

    For a time he's known as YOUR monster ..... (your name here: followed by 's monster)

    Then after a time, they just give him your name and forget about the monster part

    Just a passing thought

    It always bothers me when I see him labeld "Frankenstein". Thats the popular term for the big guy, but it ain't right. How about "Zipper-neck"?

              From Wikipedia entry on Frankenstein:

              Name Origins
              Frankenstein's Creature

              Part of Frankenstein's rejection of his creation is the fact that he doesn't give it a name, which gives it a lack of identity. Instead it is referred to by words such as "monster", "creature", "demon", "fiend", and "wretch". When Frankenstein converses with the monster in Chapter 10, he addresses it as "Devil", "Vile insect", "Abhorred monster", "fiend", "wretched devil", and "abhorred devil".

              During a telling she did of Frankenstein, she referred to the creature as "Adam".[1] It is likely that Shelley was referring to the first man in the Garden of Eden, as in her epigraph:

              Did I request thee, Maker from my clay
              To mould Me man? Did I solicit thee
              From darkness to promote me?
              John Milton, Paradise Lost (X.743-5)

              The monster has often been mistakenly called "Frankenstein". In 1908 one author said "It is strange to note how well-nigh universally the term "Frankenstein" is misused, even by intelligent persons, as describing some hideous monster...".[2] Edith Wharton's The Reef (1916) describes an unruly child as an "infant Frankenstein."[3] David Lindsay's "The Bridal Ornament," published in The Rover, 12 June 1844, mentioned "the maker of poor Frankenstein". After the release of James Whale's popular 1931 film Frankenstein, the public at large began speaking of the monster itself as "Frankenstein". A reference to this occurs in Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and in several subsequent films in the series, as well as in film titles such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

              Some justify referring to the Creature as "Frankenstein" by pointing out that the Creature is, so to speak, Victor Frankenstein's offspring. Also, one might say that the monster is the invention of Doctor Frankenstein, and inventions are often named after the person who invented them.
