Name that's right for some boys (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roy

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.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'right for some boys' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'some boys' becomes 'oy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'oy'='ROY'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roy that I've seen before include "- Orbison, US singer" , "Rob .... was a famous Scottish bandit" , "Rob . . . was a notorious Scottish outlaw" , "'Rob ..., ... Rogers (3)'" , "Rob --, Scots outlaw" .)
