Person called the same (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
namesake
(Other definitions for namesake that I've seen before include "One addressed in the same way" , "Make sane (anag.)" , "One is called after someone" , "Person with the identical monicker" , "Seek a man (anag) -- one with an intimate connection?" .)
