Also choosing Francesco as his name is very significant,and I would have never expected such a choice.
Obviously I like it,also given that my name is also Francesco Cheesy

Oddly enough, while I didn't foresee the new pope's identity (my "money" was on Scherer), I predicted the papal name correctly.

Some days ago, I browsed through the list of papal names, and it immediately stood out to me that Franciscus / Francis had never been chosen. Given the significance of Francis of Assisi as a saint, this seemed weird. I thought that if the new pope wanted to stress his humility and a certain distance to the traditional church establishment, he should really choose "Franciscus".

Now I am glad that he took my advice. Wink
