Identifies celebrities (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

names

This clue is a double definition.

'identifies' is the first definition.
('name' can be a synonym of 'identify')

'celebrities' is the second definition.
(as in a phrase like 'a big name in fashion')

(Other definitions for names that I've seen before include "Appellations or identifiers" , "celebrities" , "Some people drop these to sound important" , "identification" , "Paul, Pat, John" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
