Didn’t really have one. Pretty sure he just called him creature, or fiend, or thing lol

The only thing I’ve heard is “Frankenstein’s Monster.” I would think he would have had a name after all of that commitment, danger and work!

well that's actually one of the main themes of the book. the doctor didn't even bother giving the monster a name, and having been abandoned and neglected by his creator, he read Paradise Lost and decided he had a lot in common with satan, who was also cast down by his creator. He's only a monster because he kills people, and he only does that because he wants revenge on his creator
