Mary Shelley said herself that there are two monsters in the book and both are named Frankenstein.

    The monster's name is literally Adam Frankenstein

    No it isn't. He compares himself to Adam once ("I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed") but he never calls himself that. And frankly, considering how much Frankenstein and the monster hated each other I don't think either of them would want to share a name.
