If YOU Were Elected Pope What Name Would You Choose?

I assume that the freshly minted pope can choose any name he'd like. I don't think it even needs to be a Saint. So .... what name would YOU choose for yourself?

Pope Fity-Cent?
Pope George W. Bush?
Pope Pius the Exterminator?

Or - whould you go the more traditional route?

Pope Urban the VII?
Pope Melchior XVII?

And all the faithful proclaimed, "Amen!"

So when I condemn Abortion and Condoms in the same sentence I can be consistent.

sounds very nice

I was going to say the same thing :)

:silly:

:evilgrin:

Seriously, I'd go with Julius IV. Julius was the name of my grandfather.

Something like... Pope Neomylný Člověk (in sticking with popes from countries with strange languages - it's pope in Czech).

I would get an odd satisfaction out of that.

n.b.: The posting requiements wouldn't let me put it all in one word.

Pope Judas?

Or Pope Salome. Both good for girl Popes.

...the Umpteenth.

Mee likeee.

Hey, it'd give me something to chuckle about during lengthy ceremonies. ;)

That would fire up the fundies real good.

Cause watching heads explode is fun.

Sid

New catechism : Burkhas for nuns...

I've always liked Spanky. That or Pope Bazooka Joe. :)

He shoots, he . . . clangs it off the back iron.

And I'd resurrect some of the practices of the old Irish church.

For example, this celibacy thing has just not worked out. Save it for the mystics & let the parishes be run by men & women who live in the real world.

St. Brigid was awesome and would be a great name saint!

'Course, being Orthodox, I completely agree with you about the celibacy thing and how the Church used to be. ;)

Cheers
Drifter

...or maybe not the first...

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Just because I like alliteration and scatological humor.

Pope Nunya Damn Business I!

TlalocW

OK. Who remembers where that comes from?
The Professor

Stephen in in Vatican)

for a new look, I'd go with Pope Elvis I (but then I wanted Pr Diana to name her firstborn Elvis so I'm biased)

sounds good to me

That's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.

so I'll choose two:

Pope Master Flash
Pope Xanadu

Jesus

Don't even need a first with it since the first Jesus wasn't Pope.

i love this thread

All the other good names were taken.

St. Katherine of Alexandria was awesome, and she's my name saint as it is. I'd stick with her.

Cause I'm used to the name.

:evilgrin:

When you are barn a human, you are born into a freakshow. When your age born an American, you get a front row seat!

-Pope Carlin I

Pope BooBoo, the first

the first

along with the "Pocket Fisher of Men" fundie recruiting tool.

the doubter.

LOL how long before this thread is locked :)

:D

:-)

I wanted to be Pope George-Ringo I....

Thank you, Thankyouverymuch.

-Hoot

or Pope Joan II

Pope Jane Roe has a bit of the ring-a-ding-ding about it.

And Pope Joan, of course, is a toe-tapper, as well. I've told many Catholics who've tried to talk me back into that misogynistic church that when they've got another Pope Joan, we'll talk. Till then, shaddap!

Then I could have my own Infomercials selling stuff like salvation, redemption, foregivness...

But wait!
