I question the Stallion part because you won't give me your GF's email.
She's on Facebook, you could message her.
I don't believe that surname thing is true. I have family from Southern Italy (Avellino/Campania) with a surname that ends in an i. I believe there is still some family there with said surname.
My surname ends in "i," and my family is from southern Italy (Sicily); maybe we're related.
Probably not.
