A boy’s name I give to a girl (6)
I believe the answer is:
amelia
'girl' is the definition.
'a boy's name i give to a' is the wordplay.
'a boy's name' becomes 'Mel'.
'i give' becomes 'ia' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'mel'+'ia'='melia'
'melia' put after 'a' is 'AMELIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amelia that I've seen before include "-- Earhart, aviator" , "Fielding heroine" , "I, a male (anag) - a woman" , "Fielding novel" , "-- Earhart, flyer" .)
