'forename' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'carson endlessly gets wrong' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'gets wrong' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'got wrong' mean this).
'carson' with its last letter taken off is 'carso'.
'carso' with letters rearranged gives 'OSCAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?
