Our cat has a special mournful meow she only uses when she wants the humans to pick up the toy and play. I think she learned that meow got the humans to come and see what was wrong.

Reply to comment by Glasnerven in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain

Reply to comment by Somestaffass in TIL Frankenstein did not have a hunchback assistant called Igor in either Mary Shelley's novel or the original Universal and Hammer films. The character is a pastiche of multiple characters across several movies. by BringsHomeBones
If you consider the Monster to be Frankenstein's son as his creation, he should be entitled to the name Frankenstein as well. Unless Fitzfrankenstein would fit better.
As for a first name, I suppose that has to be Monster. Not a great name, but you have to go with what you got.

Reply to TIL that Napoleon once gave an ornately decorated tiara (a crown) to the pope with 3345 precious jewels inlaid into it. This was actually intended to be an insult, as the tiara weighed 18 pounds and was too small to fit on a human head. by Specific_Success_875
I'll take that kind of insult.
