What year did Cookie Monster got his name?

Hello. I know that in 1969-70, Cookie Monster was the unnamed Anything Muppet Monster that eats pieces of letters that formed other letters and lectures. BTW, I have two skits of him as named "Monster" on two tapes. First tape featured him eating the lecture of being happy and the second tape featured him eating pieces of the letter B where Kermit tries to explain about the letter B. But do you remember what year Cookie Monster got his name?

I'm thinking that he wasn't named Cookie Monster even in the SECOND season.

The first time Monster is addressed as "Cookie Monster" in the Sesame Street Unpaved shows is the season premiere of 1971, when Luis holds up an "M" and asks Cookie Monster (who looks different than how he did the first two years) what he thinks of it.
