"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" The clue is in the song.

I mean, "You're a mean one, Mr. Assface" still works despite being more of an insult than a proper name

Mr. Assface had plenty of time to change his name legally

Codsworth recognizes Assface as a proper name, but that was in 2077 so maybe we just haven't gotten there yet, culturally.

'The grinch had a heart that was three sizes too small.' It gets ambiguous very quickly

Thats just his full name

Mr The Grinch? I can see it. It would probably at least partly explain why he hated everyone too.
