One of the best things about being the Pope is that you get to choose your own name, unlike monks who get named by their abbot or similar person.
So, let's say you are chosen by catholic church to be the Pope, what name would you choose?
I guess I would choose Pope Shishkebab 76th.
Or maybe Pope Bananadick 15th.
Oh, I can already hear it: "His holiness, Pope Bananadick (lose the number)!"
Or maybe Pope Mohammed, to throw in some diversity and win over/ save Muslims from hell.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
