Another name for Elgin, maybe (5)
I believe the answer is:
nigel
'another name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'elgin maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'elgin' is an anagram of 'NIGEL'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
