I have to confess I’m very surprised there hasn’t been a Pope Peter II in the entire history of the Papacy.

If I have to go traditionalist, I’m going with Linus.
But, since I’m the Pope, I’m going with Pope Tyrannosaurus Awesome. The first.
Pope Fiction
Maybe they figured, “There is, and will forever be, only one…” Kind of like North Korea with Kim Il Sung being declared Eternal President.
Man, tough question…there’s so many good ones out there for the picking – Pope Schmpoe…Pope Satan…Pope Squiggy…Pope Luxury Yacht…how can one choose?!
Pope Up Ad
Pope Sickle
Pope Tart
Pope (Goes) the Weasel
Pope O’Matic
Pope Eye
Would Joan II be too controversial? Probably.
Pope Hilarious II would match my user name, but Sunrazor already took that.
I’d have to go with Papa Callistus Quartus. I read a book on popes, once, that included a couple of paragraphs on the martyrdom of the first Pope Callistus (although they listed him as Callisto). Apparently he had been confiscating pagan temples in Rome and converting them to churches. He got away with that just fine.
Then he confiscated a pagan wine bar. The locals rioted, grabbed him, and stuffed him down a well.
If this story is inaccurate, feel free to log a correction. I won’t hear you, though. The story tickles me.
In the event that I, a female, was elected Pope, I’d keep the Pope part(not Popette, or Mother ****) But I’d do a feminine name.
Pope Francesca I
A favorite novel of mine had a US citizen elected as Pope, and he chose Francis, which in Italian would be Francesco.
Peter was the name of the first Pope. There’s a superstition that Peter will also be the name of the last Pope - as in, the end of the world. While there’s no particular reason to believe this (or to believe it will be Peter II as opposed to Peter LXVIII) nobody apparently has wanted to take the chance.
Well, those pagans had their priorities straight.
Though I hate to think what they’d have done to him if he’d confiscated a brothel.

It’s so hard to decide…
Pope Leo the Fender
Papa Secret
Papa Razzi
Papa Smurf
Papa Oomowmow
Pope Aree.
Pope Hippotamus

I just have to say that Tyrannosaurus Awesome is one of the best names I have ever encountered. It’s perfect for a cartoon character or lead singer of a band or, yes, a pope.
Pope Yes, the Pontiff of Poultry.
Or Pope Inclement…
… maybe Pope Guilty…
… or, to mess up the lists, something like “Pope Interregnum” or “Pope Antipope”…
… nah, I think I’d have to go with Pope Opopope. It’s just too much fun to say. (Try it! Try it now!)
Pope Malcolm the 10th; or if you prefer, Pope Malcolm X.
Pope Chuck Norris
- because Chuck Norris doesn’t worship God; God worships Chuck Norris.
What’s up with that hat anyway…it looks like a fence post digger
