Your version reminds me of Vonnegut's that was something like this in an imagined conversation with Mary Shelly: "Dr. R - Does it bother you when people call the monster in the book 'Frankenstein'? MS - Not really. There were two monsters in the book, after all, and one of them was named 'Frankenstein.'"
