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
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!
My long shot twofer:
Pope John Pius, and he will canonize Pope Pius XII
Why the heck was there an Agapetus I?
Pope Jesse or Pope Al
Pope Beneficent
Bruce I
Pope Hillary?
I hope it's not Hilary II, after St. Hilary (Hilarus).
