I don't see how. I don't think anybody is referring to the mom when they say Jason and there is no ambiguity there imo.

Again, I didn't say it isn't technically incorrect. What is acceptable is just what I am not bothered by and can understand where the argument is coming from.

Maybe I was too hard one of the other replies, because what someone finds acceptable is subjective.

Even the name Adam isn't his name, it is just a comparison to the Adam of the Bible. He isn't speaking literally.

I think that poster got that from the book where he goes around calling himself Adam. Haven't read it in awhile, though.

I suppose "acceptable" is an extreme word. Like we need to round up anyone who calls him Frankenstein and shoot them.

I just assumed that he called himself Adam at some point in the movie and just don't remember.

I am the type of idiot who would call him Frankensetein at the threat of a gun just out of spite.

I don't think it is acceptable to go around saying Jason Vorhees is the antagonist in Friday the 13th. That is the difference. That is something I will have to correct someone about or it will drive me nuts.
