Unlikely name for new baby aunt oddly picked at random (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andrew

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

'unlikely name for new baby' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'aunt oddly picked at random' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'picked at random' becomes 'drew' (I've seen this in another clue).
The alternating letters of 'aunt' are 'an'.
'an'+'drew'='ANDREW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andrew that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "Father of Beatrice and Eugenie" , "Composer of many musicals ..." , "apostle" , "Nov thirtieth this saint's day" .)
