Pope Francis has died. A papal conclave is summoned to elect his successor—any baptized Catholic male is canoncially eligible. After months of deadlock, the cardinals shock the world by electing **you**. As pope, you would wield supreme executive authority over the Roman Catholic Church and can make infallible pronouncements on matters of Catholic dogma.

The college of cardinals thinks the better of their decision to elect you pope and they instead choose another candidate from among their own ranks. The new pope asks for your help in choosing a regnal name. His favourite number is two and he wants this as his regnal number, so you must choose among the names used only by exactly one previous pope. Which **three** names do you present to him as a shortlist? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4418))_ ---

Do you accept the position? An angel appears unto you and those around you, and proclaims that God Himself has declared you to be His choice for the next Pope. You are certain this is not a mental breakdown or complicated prank. You get no further instructions as to why God has chosen you nor what He wants you to do as Pope. The Roman Catholic Church accepts that this is God’s will, and will accept you if you agree to take the job. It is not stated what happens if you refuse but, you know, it’s God we’re talking about here.

[Pope Lando II](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4418) tragically dies during his coronation, in a freak accident involving a misplaced papal tiara. The conclave reconvenes yet again to choose a successor. The new pope-elect, another superstitious sort, vows to avoid any of the regnal names on the previous list. But he still wants a name that’s been used before. Which of the following names do you put on your shortlist of three? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4423))_ ---
