Follow girl with English name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

'follow' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'girl with english name' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'sue' (**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'e'+'n'='en'
'sue' after 'en' is 'ENSUE'.

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Follow later" , "Follow afterwards" , "Transpire" , "Cultivate plants/vegetables" , "Proceed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
