Girl hugging guy and girl (6)
I believe the answer is:
amanda
'girl' is the definition.
'girl hugging guy' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Ada' (girl's name).
'hugging' indicates putting letters inside (outside letters hug or embrace inside letters).
'guy' becomes 'man' (guy can informally mean a man).
'ada' enclosing 'man' is 'AMANDA'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for amanda that I've seen before include "F. name meaning lovable" , "Girl" , "Girl's name meaning lovable" .)
