That said I wanted to mention something regarding the name of the Shark. Much of why I put emphasis on the name in capital letters was based off of two things. One, Hooper mentioned the words "They caught a shark, not 'The' Shark." And to me that felt like the closest thing that any of the main characters did to naming their antagonist. Two as an extension of my first reason. Many of Spielberg's animal antagonists often go by a mundane yet well known moniker. Case in point the name of the main raptor in the first Jurassic Park movie was called The Big One. Which was later coined in the wiki. So I thought that was the same way with the first Shark. Bruce was only the nickname of the prop and Jaws was never mentioned as the name in-universe.
