    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭ROVER


    How about "Papa-Ratzi" for the new media age.

    Definitely my choice. Pope Dougal.

    "WeyHey we're all going to heaven lads"

    or Pope Ted in honour of a great religious man with the ambition
