Unfortunately, in recent centuries, the list of names chosen has become rather staid and boring, with Pius after Pius broken only by the occasional Paul or Leo. Benedict was a good change, but still not going far enough – looking back only a mere hundred years. For the next pope, might I suggest looking a lot further back, and picking one of the underused names that haven’t seen much attention in the last millennia? So many to choose from!
He could be any of these if he wanted:
Sixtus VI
Lando II
Cletus II
Dionysius II
Hilarius II
Should none of these catch the pope’s fancy, might I suggest he at least pick John XX, and finally fill the gap created by a nine hundred year old numbering error?
