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' is an anagram indicator.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'youth leader' becomes 'y' (I've seen this in other clues).
'forged' is an anagram of 'godfre'.
'godfre'+'y'='GODFREY'

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