Why is it that they don't use their real names? unoriginal gits.

John II started the tradition - his birth name was Mercurius, which also being the name of the Roman god of trade and commerce (and presumably email given that Mercurius/Mercury is the Roman equivalent of Hermes) might have been inappropriate for a pope. A few have ruled under their birth names since though (one of the Marcelluses did IIRC).

I'm unaware of any rule that says you have to pick a name that someone's used before (and tbh it doesn't make sense to me as a rule rather than as a common tradition that could be broken at a whim) so some link to a reference to that might be interesting.

Oh, tempted as I am to go for Pope Selwyn Froggit (or Pope Hilarious II - there's been a Hilarius before), I'd go for Pope Peter The Roman as it might bother a few people.

I loved the Pope on a rope and Pope pouri.

Anyone for eggs Benedict? I bet it'll become a very popular menu item in the next few weeks

The Vatican are clearly missing out on the marketing potential. Popecorn. Pope Tarts. Coco Popes. Maybe they could get Iggy Pope to write the ad jingles.

Definitely my choice. Pope Dougal.
