Pope Jesus Christ I. We need a pope with some balls, for who will we turn to when the Machines rise against us? Pope John Connor I? Hardly. Time Traveling popes always screw shit up.

They seem to favour Latin or Greek names. Until about the tenth century, papal names were just Latinized versions of the Popes name, so they were basically just a reflection of the fact that the Bishops of Rome were Italian or Greek. After that, the tradition of taking the name of a previous pope started, but the pool of names by that point was already dominated by Greco-Latin.
I think John is the only Pope name with a Semetic origin.
I’m sincerely hoping it’ll be Gozdewetzel.
Ooh, please please please be Pope Felix V! Do you feel lucky, pope?
Damn you, sir.
I wanted to do that one.
Very well, then.
Pope Bosda.
For my first Official Papal Act–zamboniracer: you are damned. Have a nice day.
Why not just Pope?
Pope Pope I
Won’t be the first time.
Also, the most recent wholly original papal name. The next Pope <Whatever> I was John Paul, but he took his papal name from his two immediate predecessors, John XXIII and Paul VI.
Yep, it’s been over 1000 years since a pope came up with a new name for himself. I vote the next one actually does so.
I vote for Pope Antipope. Just to confuse people.
I resurface to make ONE JOKE, and this is the reception I get?
When I am Pope, you will PAY, sir.
Pope Sixsixsix would be so cool. And image all the “sex” parodies.
I’m partial to Sylvester.

<GLARES> I’ll just bet you are! </GLARES>
So you would object to a Pope Biggus Dickus?
My god, YES! The new Mass would be FABULOUS!
Would Pope Incontinentia Buttocks be deemed unlikely? Just because it was a woman’s name?
I wish they’d bring Innocent back.
Or how about the modesty inherent in calling yourself Pius?
