IIRC, when he creates the being (who is obviously also called Frankenstein due to being Frankenstein's son), he is a university student in the Mary Shelley book. Definitely not a PhD or medicine practitioner.
It's quite a stretch to say that stitching together some corpses and reanimating the result means the creature is obviously your son and given your surname. If that were the case it would have been specified in the book, and it is not. The creature didn't even like his creator, so why would he want to be named after him?
You're correct about his title, though - he was not a doctor in the book.
