The girl created a row (8)

I believe the answer is:

madeline

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

'created a row' is the wordplay.
'created' becomes 'made' (making is a kind of creating).
'a row' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'made'+'line'='MADELINE'

(Another definition for madeline that I've seen is " Woman".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
