My guess is John Paul III.

[Tanniker Smith]

Given that he's going to be tough to follow, I don't think the new pope will want John Paul III. Too much to live up to, I think.

I put the encyclopedia back, and I didn't think to check on how many popes took the name of the prior pope. John Paul I was the first to draw on the two previous popes, and then, of course, John Paul II decided to honor the September pope.
