I found that really interesting, thanks :)

The last completely new papal name was "Lando". Pope Lando served 913-914.

*snerks*

My geek brain immediately thought of Lando Calrissian when I read that.

How could anyone not?

We could *really* have used another St. Hilarius right about now.

Or Pope Tolerance. I guess we'll be waiting a while for that one.

My question is:

If a pope chose "Paul John", would that be classed as a new name?

silverdee April 21 2005, 07:18:18 UTC

I think so. He would be Paul John I.
