And since @Ladywillpower correctly guessed @FintyTin's last clue, this is @Ladywillpower**'s latest clue:

This old German name opened Pandora's box in 1929. Her royal connections meant that she waltzed off to one of the Channel Islands with the Doctor.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter has guessed Clara!

Ooh, Monty?

Snake like - Monty Python
Green fingered - Monty Don (gardener)
Naked - The Full Minty

Yes @finallychangedmyusername well done!! Over to you

'The Full Minty' sounds like a spin-off of The Full Monty that was sponsored by Trebor mints.

Next one:

An ancient name for this guy who works in the hospitality field; not an ill lady.

Mal?

Mallory

Not Mal/Mallory, sorry.

Manuel!

Yep you got it @LadyGAgain!

The name Manuel can be traced back to the Byzantine empire. The hospitality worker is, of course, the waiter Manuel from Fawlty Towers.
Not a ill lady = "Man" + "well" = Manuel!

Great clues! Loved Fawlty Towers!

New clue:

She’s alive! Infamously high spirited in her most famous role. Strikingly pretty and a dedicated follower of fashion.

• infamously high spirited and determined

Vivienne?

Yup! 👏🏽👏🏽

This spirited lady wrote of magic in the forest.
Another had a more fashionable writing career in this female-centric series.
To have this name bestowed would be an honour (according to some).

The spirited lady also wrote about four children.

... which matches the number of lead characters in the aforementioned female-centric series.

Along with the four children, the spirited lady also wrote of a family pet.

Edith?

Not Edith, although you have the right initial.

Elizabeth?

Not Elizabeth sorry. She is sung of by women missing underwear.

Enid?

Yes indeed!

Enid Blyton wrote of the Famous Five (four children and a dog!) and also The Faraway Tree.

Enid Frick was the editor of Vogue in Sex and The City.

The Barenaked Ladies had a hit with "Enid".

Reportedly to call a woman a "second Enid" was considered complimentary - from Tennyson's 'Idyll of the Kings'.

New name:

He's stylish, funny and almost precious.
