States “I have a girl’s name”? (7)


I believe the answer is:



Here is my best explanation:

'states' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i have a girl's name?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'i' could be 'me' and 'me' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'name?' could be 'rica' and 'rica' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).



This clue was last seen in The Times

(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Camera I take to the continent, oddly", "North or South, it's a continent", "Federation", "The New World", "Continent consisting of two great land masses", "Land of the free and home of the brave?", "West Side Story song", "Continent of the Western Hemisphere", "The United States" and "The USA".)
