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

Love how everything looks like food nowadays. Whiteout the word Deodorant and put it in the dairy section.
