A pair of names adopted by Zeus? Oddly, this one's for a girl (7)
I believe the answer is:
suzanne
'girl' is the definition.
'a pair of names adopted by zeus? oddly' is the wordplay.
'a pair of names' becomes 'ann' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'adopted by' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'oddly' is an anagram indicator (letters in an odd order).
'zeus' is an anagram of 'suze'.
'ann' going inside 'suze' is 'SUZANNE'.
'this one's for a' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
