I'd personally say that Amanda was fairly ubiquitous in the UK as well (though not nearly as popular as it was in North America). I was at school with several Amandas in the 80s and 90s. Some very middle class, others from a council estate and some in between. I can see it being used by posh people though. I suspect it started out as being upper class and then spread when it became popular.
