Jim Dale or Stephen Frye may have -- they had to figure out how to pronounce them all. :)

I don't believe JKR forgot Lily's maiden name was Evans, she just misjudged the effect. I think she was going for the idea that Petunia Dursley, nee Evans, who complains that Harry Potter is such a common name, had a common name herself.
