What's the deal with Nicko McBrain's name?

Ahhh, thanks, my dudes. His is the only instance of that surname I've ever heard, and because of the "Brain" part, I thought it was a weird stage name.
 
I thought it was a new sandwich from McDonalds.
 
I thought it was a cool coincidence that he first played with Maiden on their "Piece of Mind" album.
 
It may be because in Scottish accent "brain" almost sounds the same as Brian, so he's probably the descendant of Brian really!
