Not in the new Victor Frankenstein movie, in which Daniel Radcliffe plays the assistant, Igor.
Interesting observation. It may be that the history of print-or-online references to the creator (rather than the monster) being “Frankenstein” did increase dramatically after the 1974 film debuted.
The Ngram of “Frankenstein, monster’s name” seems to support that theory:
Google Ngram Viewer: Frankenstein,monster's name (You have to click through on the “Search lots of books” button to get it to show up.)
Of course, other search terms might be even more revealing.
That was Henry Frankenstein!
And which side was it on, anyway? I get confused.
Sorry, you’re right.
“If your mother was a vampire and your father was a frankenstein, why are you a werewolf?”

Unless you call it Brad. Then you get in a wreck, and you’re bummed because nothing can replace Brad. Then Liberty Insurance calls…
Well we have one of the many sequels called “Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman”. I doubt the studio intended this to mean “Dr. Frankenstein meets a werewolf”. Clearly they thought the monster’s name was Frankenstein.
There was, in fact, a member of the Frankenstein family in that film. Namely Henry’s granddaughter, Elsa Frankenstein, played by the gorgeous Ilona Massey. Pedantic nitpickers everywhere (like yours truly:)) enjoy pointing out that she must be the Frankenstein who met the Wolfman.
Except, as I recall it, she never did meet “The Wolfman” (although she met Lawrence Talbot).
Elsa Frankenstein meeting Larry Talbot is like THIS version of Alien vs. Predator:
Now we’re getting into really pedantic nitpicking–the best kind! I believe that “The Wolfman” refers to Larry Talbot in either of his guises, werewolf or human.
If we want to go with the notion that it refers only to the lupine form, then while Elsa may never have been formally introduced to the werewolf, she was in the same room with him during the final fight scene. Indeed, he saved her from being carried off by the Frankenstein Monster. Surely that’s enough for them to at least be acquaintances.
Okay, she was unconscious at the time, but we can’t have everything. 
You know, I could’ve sworn it was spelled Frankenstain.
Clearly, she met the Wolfman, but she never met the Manwolf.
Just bumping this to note that last night I saw Frankenhooker, the story of a young man who reanimates his dead girlfriend with spare parts taken from prostitutes.
The monster’s name was Elizabeth Shelley.
Okay – she “met” the Wolfman while unconscious. Are you sure you tortured the definition of “met” enough?
Then whom did [del]Abbot and Costello[/del] Wilbur and Chick meet in “Meet Frankenstein”?
Frankenhooker is essentially a remake of the wonderfully awful 1962 movie The Brain that Wouldn’t Die (AKA The Head that Wouldn’t Die, which is used in the closing credits – and sometimes the opening credits, as well). The plots are virtually identical, and Frankenhooker opens with a scene of the Giant Brain in a Jar with One Big Eyeball, something that appears in the poster for The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, but not in the movie itself:
Last night I was talking to my daughter, who’s 9, about Frankenstein as I had just bought the Universal collection. Even she knew that the monster has no name. Not really sure how she knew it, but she told me “daddy, you know the monster’s name wasn’t Frankenstein.” Proud papa here.
It’s what I do.
My friends and I just watched (the Mystery Science Theater version of) The Brain That Wouldn’t Die on Halloween. One of us even made the comparison to Frankenhooker. Are you sure you’re not one of my D&D group in disguise?
