Amanda's last name is Wickham. edit »
That's a really pedantic nitpick. We also know for sure that she is a legitimate child, considering the fact that in S1's Holloween ep, where she was also introduced, Marigold talked about Howard (her husband then, who she was about to divorce) and Amanda referred to him as "Dad" ("I'm gonna tell Dad where you hid the silver"). edit »
In this episode it is revealed that Amanda's mother has just gotten married to her 19th husband. Amanda therefore refers to him as "Stepfather 19" but this would imply that her parents never gotten married and that she is a illegitimate child. edit »

James: It was the Summer of Sixty-Nine. Fourteen sixty-nine and Botticelli was having one of his backyard barbeques. Suddenly I looked up and saw a vision due west of the suckling pig. She was beautiful, she was brilliant and for a brief moment in time, she was mine.
Amanda: What happened?
