Name caught by everyone (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

call

'name' is the definition.
(to call them someone something is to name them)

'caught by everyone' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'c'+'all'='CALL'

(Other definitions for call that I've seen before include "Name; visit" , "Ireland's ..., rugby anthem" , "Short visit" , "Ring or visit" , "Assign a name to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
