If Victor Frankenstein created "The Frankenstein Monster," then the monster would inherit his paternal surname, making them both Frankensteins proper. It's one of Victor's failings that he did not give "The Monster Frankenstein" a proper first name, along with his failing in abandoning his creation.

Didn't Frankenstein's creation take on the name "Adam?"

Shit maybe, if so I don't remember, gonna need to reread/watch something other than Young Frankenstein (which I watch yearly lol).

Still, then his name is Adam Frankenstein, he still inherits the surname (unless he chose one of those too and I forgot lol).
