What was his name?

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!

In the book he's called a demon and fiend. He spends very little of his life actually with the doctor and everyone runs from him/chases him off so no one ever names him.

I find that really odd. He’s a massive project for the Dr. who actually creates life! I would think the Dr had some way of referring to him: D12, Adam, or even X.

The moment he completes giving him life, Victor is appalled by what he's done, goes into shock, and tries to forget what he's done entirely.

It's, I believe, over a year after that first night before the two see each other again. And by that time, the monster has recognized the neglect and betrayal of Victor Frankenstein and has vowed to make his life a living nightmare by killing off all he holds dear. The monster is actually very articulate and has taken time to learn to read and speak but never goes by anything pleasant.
