American soldier cutting orange in pieces for girl (8)

I believe the answer is:

georgina

'girl' is the definition.

'american soldier cutting orange in pieces' is the wordplay.
'american soldier' becomes 'gi'.
'cutting' indicates putting letters inside (some letters cut their way into a word).
'in pieces' is an anagram indicator.
'orange' is an anagram of 'georna'.
'gi' inserted within 'georna' is 'GEORGINA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for georgina that I've seen is " Girl's name".)
