Is a name for a child (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

'for a child' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is a name' is the wordplay.
'a name' becomes 'sue' ().
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "something to discuss" , "Put out; result" , "Problem or concern" , "Kids" , "Result, outcome; topic" .)

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