Surely favourite bands are a decider? Pope John Paul George Ringo, who on taking advice elected to shorten it to John Paul... I look forward to a Rolling Stones fan geting the top job one day... Pope Mick Keith Brian Charlie, known as Pope Michael Keith for short...

Great Entry!

I just assumed they changed their names when taking holy orders (or whatever). I know Catholic nuns do that, so assumed it worked for priests too.

Good entry!
