Stories about wet girl (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorraine

'girl' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'stories about wet' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lore' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'wet' becomes 'rain' (wet weather).
'lore' going around 'rain' is 'LORRAINE'.

(Other definitions for lorraine that I've seen before include "French region bordering Germany" , "Region linked to Alsace" , "Region of NE France" , "French region, cross" , "girl in old > duchy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
