Not to quibble, but from my source(s)
Verlaine is about 25% Scottish (possibly 0%,
since grandparents or great-grand parents
moved to Scotland but were not of Scottish
descent), and 75% Lithuanian.
Grandparents' original name was something like
Millarken (or Milarkov?) but was shortened to
Miller to make their assimilation in America
easier.
Leo (who is 0% Scottish but who has
many Irish transplant relatives still living
in Scotland)

Subject: RE: (TV) Songs from Cover -- lyrics
Toms folks are Scottish (like me) and apparently we pronounce 'castle'
differently from the English, a fact which amuses my English sister in law
but something I didnt realise until she pointed out that her daughter says
castle 'the funny scottish way'
not sure if I've got the song anywhere or not, but I'll check it oot
