according to some shonky MSN news site:

The successor to Pope John Paul II can choose a Latinized form of his Christian name or the name of an earlier pope, or a saint's name. He may also want to pick a name that would attribute a quality to him, such as Pius (pious) or Innocent.

seven years pass...

Just came upon this thread by accident, but yes! I've always though Pope Innocent X sounded like a perfect rap name. He would have a mixtape called "Not Guilty" where the cover would be (as seen from the view of a judge's bench) a very be-jewelled man in blinged out papal garb (e.g. diamond covered crown) and sunglasses standing behind a courtroom table with numerous smiling attorneys standing around him shaking hands, in addition to hordes of press photographers and prosecutors on the other side of the room, heads in hands.

But really, it's just the resemblance to Terminator X that does is.
