What should I name this weird little alien creature?

I think it's a Mammillaria spinosissima ssp. pilcayensis

Mammillaria are generally native to Mexico, so maybe a name in Spanish, Nahuatl, or another language spoken in Mexico would be neat. Or maybe a leftist historical figure from Mexico, or a cactus-related Aztec deity. But don't limit yourself to that, if you have any other ideas you should definitely share them!

Maybe a feminine name this time, since I named my last succulent Herbert

Mami

It's Spanish and respectful modern slang word for women and also speaks to its scientific name.

This is an underrated pun
