Real-life girl's name used by JK Rowling as Hogwarts student?

Must have been years ago, I remember reading the Harry Potter Wiki and one of the pages was for a Hogwarts student whose name was mentioned in dialogue. The page explained that the name was of a daughter of a real-life friend of JK Rowling, who inserted it at her friend's request. I think?

Obviously the page could have been lying, but now that I'm re-looking for this information, I can't find anything on the subject at all. Is there any verifiable evidence for anything of this nature having happened? 2605:A000:F9E0:2900:21F3:6562:6370:3CCE (talk) 02:27, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
