Girl having a rave-up (4)

I believe the answer is:

vera

'girl' is the definition.

'a rave-up' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates an anagram (letters get chucked up).
'rave' with letters rearranged gives 'VERA'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for vera that I've seen before include "__ Lynn, the forces' sweetheart" , "Duckworth, Lynn" , "and 15: Singing Dame" , "Woman's name" , "Dame -- Lynn, singer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
