Answer 2

Back in 1693, there was a designated "Dog Species Namer" assigned by the King of Mexico, who, in fact, also named the Yorkshire Terrier. When asked what to name the small dog, now known as a Chihuahua, the Dog Species Namer began to say the name, but it turns out he had a rare allergy to Chihuahuas, so he sneezed, and it was recorded as being a "Chihuahua" (it does sound like a sneeze, does it not?), and hasn't been changed.
