Well I haven't read the novel yet, so I wouldn't know if Hooper called it that there too. But I would like to keep the name for the movie version. I was orignally gonna call it "The first shark." because it was the first shark officially seen on Amity, but they pretty much subtly implied shark attacks being covered up in the movie. What with the Coroner saying "It's happened before." regarding boating accidents. Plus it wouldn't make sense with the later films. Jaws 2 would have been called "The Second Shark." But since the third one and it's baby weren't seen in Amity it would start to make less sense. The one in Revenge would have been called either "The Fourth Shark" due to movie order and the "Third Shark" due to it being the third shark to ever appear in Amity which would have raised further confusion.
