Incorrect or unsuitable name (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misnomer

'incorrect or unsuitable name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for misnomer that I've seen before include "Wrong name or description" , "Unsuitable name for a person or thing" , "Unsuitable designation" , "the label's wrong" , "Simmer on (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
