Name for a watch chain (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albert

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

'a watch chain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'name for' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Al'.
'for' becomes 'bert' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'al'+'bert'='ALBERT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for albert that I've seen before include "Old watch chain" , "Keep watch" , "Queen Victoria's Prince Consort" , "and 7: French missionary" , "Prince of Monaco" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
