That wasn’t about atheism, it was about accomplishments & discoveries. Maybe Dawkins should have been Darwin.
Pope Mohammed. But everyone would call me PoMo.
With Pope Palpatine out of the way, perhaps this is the opening for the restoration?
And another question: Would a female Pope be a Mome?
Well, there’s always Pope Rural, or Pope Guilty…
… but I still think I’ll go with Pope Pourri.
Pope Job I ------------ guess I drove Fords for a year or two too long.
Dammit, I was gonna come in here and say that. I guess I’ll go with the non-serious Papal name and take Plugfester instead.
Ooh no wait. Mobile. Pope Mobile.
No name for me. I just wanna drive that Papal Fiat. Zoom, zoom!
I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t get that one until just now when you made me go back to it. The faux-authentic spelling and all that.
Also, it occurs to me that my own Papal Name would be the moniker that my idiot mother almost saddled me with (until my father talked her out of it, thank god): Purvis.
Pope Purvis the 1th.
You’d get called Pope Pervert. No commentary on anything happening um, ever in the Catholic church, but you’d be called Pope Pervert, always.

If they let me be Pope (Canadian, Protestant, woman) I’d probably go for Theresa (for Theresa of Avila, whom I respect greatly) or Margaret, Scottish saint and one of my favourite women’s names. Or Martha, maybe because the church needs some helpers these days.
Pope Joan II would be good too!
I’d go with…Julius IV, I think. I have a good feeling about the precedents.
Or maybe something like Gyatso I. That’ll spin a few heads.
That was my point.
I’ve always assumed that had my lamebrain mother prevailed and dubbed me “Purvis”, my nickname would have been “Pervy” by the second day of Kindergarten. So if I were elected Bull Goose Pontiff I’d very quickly become known as “Pope Pervy” or “Pope Perv.”
.
Not that anyone cares, thanks to my Dad I was named “Tom.”
Pope Simon.
Why? Because my Catholic confirmation name is Peter, and traditionally St. Peter, considered the first Pope, is, and always will be, the only Pope Peter, so if “Simon Called Peter” was Pope, then why not “Peter Called Simon”?
Pope Ispimpin
It’s possible I may be influenced in that choice from having watched too much TNA wrestling.
That’s Per-vect! 
I think I’ll take a cue from my uncle and go with Opey. Pope Opey Hope! Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Pope Benedict is retiring? Now it’s my turn?
Henceforth I shall be known as Pope Maledict. Damn you all to Hell!
Pope Inclement I. My friends call me “Stormy.”
Whoson. Then I could be pope WhosOn the First.
Pope Smear
Popesicola
Alexander Pope
Pope John Paul George Ringo
or if you have to stay with the saints:
Pope Peter Paul and Mary
In honor of the nun that was my 5th grade teacher and taught me the merits of discipline, I would name myself:
Pope Marky Desaad I.
