French city's name is unusual (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amiens

'french city's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'name is unusual' is the wordplay.
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'name'+'is'='nameis'
'nameis' with letters rearranged gives 'AMIENS'.

(Other definitions for amiens that I've seen before include "European town" , "French town" , "capital of Picardy" , "French cathedral city on the river Somme" , "City in northern France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
