People referring to the Holy Father as "bergolio' and other disrespectful names are going about the duty with injuries.

"Bergoglio" is disrespectful? This man doesn't even refer to himself as pope. Having said that, I do try to stick to Bergoglio or Francis.

I believe it’s common practice in Italy. “Papa Wojtyla”, “Papa Ratzinger”, etc.

How about calling him “Pope Che”?

Because, you know, he’s a communist.
