I believe the answer is:

roger

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

'fellow' is the definition.
(man's name)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for roger that I've seen before include "Boy's name - message understood" , "One like de Coverley" , "that's clear" , "acknowledgement of message received?" , "Casement, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
