someone

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

'a name' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'anybody without' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'anybody' could be 'one' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'one' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'some' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for someone that I've seen before include "big cheese" , "Unspecified human being" , "individual" , "A person (maybe of importance)" , "An unknown person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
