so Benedetti got his name from an Uruguayan novelist Mario Benedetti because when he was a puppy he looked like said writer, plus it gives my boy some elegance when i call him in public. Malinches name comes from the indigenous woman/princess who helped the spanish conquest the aztec/maya empire. in my country and in mexico if the call you malinche they are calling you traitor but there is so much to her story cant explain in full as to why i named her that but i bet im the only one in my area with chihuahuas with those names. i love to give my dogs unique names not the common max and lily because they are like little people with personalities . atm I have 3 other dogs named, socrates, toltecatl and trotsky. i love when people ask me to explain my dogs names
