Botch pronunciation of maiden name (9)
I believe the answer is:
mishandle
'botch' is the definition.
('mishandle' can be a synonym of 'botch')
'pronunciation of maiden name' is the wordplay.
'pronunciation of maiden' becomes 'mis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'name' becomes 'handle'.
'mis'+'handle'='MISHANDLE'
(Other definitions for mishandle that I've seen before include "Bungle" , "Maltreat" , "Fumble" , "Badly judge" , "Wrongly manage" .)
