Second name, Brown, ridiculously pronounced (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

number two

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'second' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'name brown ridiculously pronounced' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'brown' becomes 'umber' (umber is a kind of brown).
'ridiculously pronounced' becomes 'two' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'n'+'umber'+'two'='NUMBER TWO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for number two that I've seen before include "Dump" , "vice" , "Second in command" , "Second-in-command" , "deputy" .)
