Girl hugging guy and girl (6)
I believe the answer is:
amanda
'girl' is the definition.
'girl hugging guy' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Ada' (girl's name).
'hugging' is an insertion indicator (outside letters hug or embrace inside letters).
'guy' becomes 'man' (guy can informally mean a man).
'ada' placed around 'man' is 'AMANDA'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for amanda that I've seen before include "F. name meaning lovable" , "Girl" , "Girl's name meaning lovable" .)
