Name of doctor holding short skirt (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dominic

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

'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'doctor holding short skirt' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'doc' (synonyms).
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'short skirt' becomes 'mini' (mini skirt).
'doc' going around 'mini' is 'DOMINIC'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dominic that I've seen before include "Man" , "Priest" , "Man's name" .)
