The New Pope's Name

[eldar]

So, his eminancy (or whatever) has finally popped his clogs. Which means in three weeks or so, we'll have a new pontiff. What will he call himself?

For guidelines, look here:

(impressivly quickly updated, too)

Personally, I'm hoping for Pope Sixtus VI.

There'll be good money on Pius XIII, I reckon.

Or will he go with the last 50 years' tradition and use John or Paul or a combination of the two?

I was going to say something along those lines, dammit.

I vote for Pope Buddha I.

I'd really like it if they decided that they don't really think anyone "in house" is up to it, and asked the Dalai Lama if he's free.

Alright, I admit it. I just like fucking with people's minds. ;-)
