Whom some call, briefly (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aka

(Other definitions for aka that I've seen before include "Notation indicating alternative identity" , "Notation indicating alias or other name" , "Also called (abbrev.)" , "Also known as, initially" , "Using the byline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
