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

'name of man' is the definition.
'Lloyd' can be an answer for 'man'. I am unsure of the 'name of' bit.

'dolly out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dolly' is an anagram of 'LLOYD'.

'taking' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lloyd that I've seen before include "Harold --; -- George" , "David -- George, PM 1916-22" , "Bridges perhaps" , "Marie -, nineteenth to twentieth century English music-hall entertainer" , "Frank -- Wright, US architect" .)
