Frankenstein is NOW the name of the MonsterIf you took a poll of everyone who is aware of the movie, that is what they will say.

In a poll you will represent the outside 5% of the poll graph.
In other words you are correct yet abnormal.

It’s Not Wrong to Call the Monster “Frankenstein”
"It seems any time someone refers to The Creature in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as “Frankenstein” some pedant will chime in with a condescending, “Uhm, actually, Frankenstein is the doctor. Not the monster.” In reality, it’s actually perfectly acceptable to call The Creature “Frankenstein.” Here’s why.
In Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist determined to penetrate the secrets of nature and create a living being from dead tissue. Why he chose to start that venture with an eight-foot-tall hulk of a man and not, say, a gerbil, is a mystery all its own. We won’t spoil it, but things don’t go so great for Victor after that.
Neither Shelley, nor Victor Frankenstein give The Creature a name in the book, which has created the problem of what to call the thing since the book was first published in 1818. “The Creature,” “The Monster,”

You get Marysue who is literate or illiterate Matthew.
No one I know ever calls the monster anything other than Frankenstein.

Betting this is like the copy machine. All called Zerox's. All other brands are referred to as Zerox.
The monster far more important than the doctor that created the monster, had an author who failed to name it.
