What papal name do you think the next pope will take?
As I search the list there have never been 3 popes taking the same name in a row. Bookies are giving 7-4 that the next pope will take John Paul III. There was never a double name before John Paul I. Not interested in this thread who will become Pope, just what name do you think he will take? Is there some Pope that the next Pope will want to pattern after besides John Paul II that any new Pope would see the Church in need of? If it were me I might take Urban, but somehow I don't think that that will be it.

Looks about time for another "Innocent".
How about Peter II
Pope Diddy gets my vote.
Anything as long as he loves the Latin Mass!

OK, I've got it. AP can start a new church based on their poll results of what Americans want in a church. Then, they can elect a new leader using telephone polls, and finally, auction off naming rights for their new leader.
I'd like to see Alexander IX.
Pope Ahnarope
Pope George Ringo
Is there any rule against being a "first" or choosing a papal name after somone else that is either close to or is already yours?
I'll bet on Pius XIII.
Pope Piel (drstevej) a former Freeper!
There was never a double name before John Paul I.
Sorry...but..
Benedict VI (973-74)
Benedict VII (974-83)
John XIV (983-84)
John XV (985-96)
--
John XVII (1003)
John XVIII (1003-09)
Clement IX (1667-69)
Clement X (1670-76)
Pius XI (1922-39)
Pius XII (1939-58)
Clement XIII (1758-69)
Clement XIV (1769-74)
Pius VI (1775-99)
Pius VII (1800-23)
My long shot twofer:
Pope John Pius, and he will canonize Pope Pius XII
Why the heck was there an Agapetus I?
Oh now i understand why you mean by double name
I think they meant a double name ie John Paul; how about Bruce the first?
"Pope Ahnarope'
too funny!
