Obscure trivia questions.....can you help???

[Aro]

I posted this last week, but it appears to have disappeared in the crash…

The answer to the first was: ** Logogriphist ** (of the Year).
(only 40% of the contestants found this answer, a real tough one)

The second was Charlot Pain, as provided above by astroian. Many thanks for that answer. Cheers.
(only 28% got this answer too!)

**I found it! I wasn’t even looking for it, but I was leafing through t e Book of Lists, and I came across the name of the gent who set fire to a tent and wound up in Devil’s Island.

The name was…

CHARLOT PAIN.

In French, “pain” means bread, but in English, the name is very appropriate for a guy suffering torment in a penal colony. **

It sounds to me like his given name - “Charlot” - is a lot more appropriate than his surname. Maybe the author of the question was confused about the modern meaning of the word “surname.” I saw the word incorrectly used to mean “given name” somewhere in the last couple of weeks.
