I believe the answer is:

cites

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'names' is the definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'name')

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cites that I've seen before include "Quotes; names" , "Quotes (an author)" , "Mentions as an example" , "Refers to" , "Quotes; mentions in official despatch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
