Frankenstein was the doctor’s surname. The creature refers to the doctor as his ”father“. Since it’s common for offspring to have the same surname as their fathers, i put it to you that the creature’s name is Mr. Frankenstein. And, just like the doctor, you can just call him Frankenstein for short.
