[Maximo]

I love reading how everyone's pups were named.

I had picked out the name Winston for Winston Churchill, and was going to use the nickname Winnie meaning friend.

Dad looked at the photo of my puppy to be and named him Max, because he looked intense. I approved if it could be short for Maximus for the 'Gladiator' character. That turned into Massimo or Maximo. We combined it with his puppy litter name: Rolls Royce Maximo.

Teddy was originally Tank. We renamed him for Teddy Roosevelt: Theodore Rex, the title of the popular biography. He loves the outdoors and loves life.
