Propose master should have name for daughter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nominate

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

'propose' is the definition.
(nominating is a kind of proposing)

'master should have name for daughter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'master' could be 'm' and 'm' is present in the answer.
'name' could be 'nat' and 'nat' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nominate that I've seen before include "Propose for office" , "Propose - name" , "give name" , "Put forward name for a mention" , "Specify (person for job)" .)
