John must be the odds maker’s favorite.
If from Africa, would he consider Phillip or Matthew?

Telephorus II sounds like a good choice.

Can they just go with their original name in life?
I’d get confused if people were yelling something different.

It's possible that another progressive could go Francis ll but I'm going with Innocent XIV.

My favorite single-named Pope only because of how ludicrous his earthly afterlife became.

The Cadaver Synod (also called the Cadaver Trial; Latin: Synodus Horrenda) is the name commonly given to the ecclesiastical trial of Pope Formosus, who had been dead for about seven months, in the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome during January 897.[1] The trial was conducted by Pope Stephen VI, the successor to Formosus' successor, Pope Boniface VI. Stephen had Formosus' corpse exhumed and brought to the papal court for judgment. He accused Formosus of perjury, of having acceded to the papacy illegally, and illegally presiding over more than one diocese at the same time.[2] At the end of the trial, Formosus was pronounced guilty, and his papacy retroactively declared null.[2]
