Dalli is not a quite common surname in Malta, in fact there are only a few hundreds in the directory pages and the number of dallis on the island are so limited and restricted that we do know each other because somehow or another since there are few of us we all know each other, so if i were you i would rather put down, quite a rare surname on the Maltese Islands
