Boy's name forged, possibly, by youth leader (7)

I believe the answer is:

godfrey

'boy's name' is the definition.

'forged possibly by youth leader' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'youth leader' becomes 'y' (I've seen this in other clues).
'forged' anagrammed gives 'godfre'.
'godfre'+'y'='GODFREY'

(Another definition for godfrey that I've seen is " Man".)
