Girl's name for a no-good, that is (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angie

'girl's name' is the definition.

'a no-good that is' is the wordplay.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'a'+'ng'+'ie'='ANGIE'

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for angie that I've seen is " Rolling Stones song".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
