 The Trouble Names
Read what JKR says:
Then why – WHY – (I hear you cry) – did I give him the surname “Evans”? Well, believe me, you can't regret it more than I do right now. “Evans” is a common name; I didn't give it much thought; I wasn't even trying to set up another red herring. I could just as easily have called him 'Smith' or 'Jones' (or 'Black' or 'Thomas' or 'Brown', all of which would have got me into trouble too).
Now, I only know that "Black" could have caused problem for her but what the other names are about? 
Smith, Jones, Thomas, Brown.

Wasn't the trouble "would-be relations with other characters"?

No, she was making examples.
saying its just an accident i called him that, i could have called him anything....
The names she uses as an example probably just came of the top of her head as they are VERY common names

Oh my god. Do you people always read between the lines, even though it doesn't really mean anything? I never cared much about Mark Evans, and it turned out I'm right. And now, you're doubting what JKR's said too. Those last names are just common. That's it. Plain and simple. She didn't give out any clues again. So leave her alone. >_>

The way i read it, is that "black, thomas, and brown" are the names that would have given her trouble. And you guys know who those names refer to. Dean Thomas, Sirius Black, and Lavender Brown.
