The little man is wrong a lot (3)

I believe the answer is:

sid

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

'the little man' is the definition.
'sid' can be an answer for 'man' (man's name). I am unsure of the 'the little' bit.

'is wrong a lot' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'a lot' becomes 'd' ().
'is' anagrammed gives 'si'.
'si'+'d'='SID'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
