Hardly what Mr and Mrs Butter would christen their son? (6)
I believe the answer is:
roland
'son?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'hardly what mr and mrs butter would christen their' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'mr' could be 'land' and 'land' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roland that I've seen before include "Comrade of Oliver" , "Legendary fighter" , "Man's name" , "Hero of early French epic poem" , "Celebrated French knight" .)
