I'd the wrong name for a girl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edith

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i'd the wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'id'+'the'='idthe'
'idthe' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITH'.

'name for a' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edith that I've seen before include "Eg Cavell" , "Woman's name" , "Cavell, Piaf or Wharton" , "- Cavell, WW 1 heroine" , "- Cavell, nurse executed in 1915" .)
