Scandinavian drunk as a lord? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roald

'scandinavian' is the definition.
(common Scandinavian name)

'drunk as a lord?' is the wordplay.
'drunk as' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'lord'='alord'
'alord' anagrammed gives 'ROALD'.

(Other definitions for roald that I've seen before include "-- Dahl, writer" , "Dahl or Amundsen?" , "Man" , "-- Dahl, children's author" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
