Pop round at six, boy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

david

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

'boy' is the definition.

'pop round at six' is the wordplay.
'pop' becomes 'da' (both can mean someone's father).
'round at six' becomes 'vid' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'da'+'vid'='DAVID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for david that I've seen before include "Hebrew king" , "Dickens hero" , "Goliath's slayer" , "The Psalmist" , "King of Judah and Israel, Saul's successor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
