God complex much? ;)<br>I haven't read the book myself but Stephen Fry seems to be a pretty good source for such titbits. I would imagine 'Frankenstein's Monster' caught on rather than the real name because it sounds a lot more interesting, and then it was just a matter of abreviation.

However, the monster seems to have taken on the name of his creator, having been given no name at all (that I remember) in the book. So "Frankenstein" it is. Agreed (yes, I read the book).
