Why is Frankenstein’s creature never given a name?

I believe "it" was never given a name because even in the novel, the monster is not presented with any physical characteristics that will give a standard image in to your head. This way, anyone have a different image of the monster in their head because even if she does not describe the monster, giving it a name will give you some sort of image of how the monster looks or sounds.
