Good ol’ pope Hilarius. Real stand-up pope. Very wise contributor to the Catholic Majesterium. Latin sermons? More like laugh-in sermons.

I think it's partially because Thomas is often associated with Thomas the Apostle who doubted Christ's resurrection. Would still be my Papal name choice though!

D'oh, got everything except Peter because I thought no pope wanted to be blasphemous by naming himself after Peter and totally forgot that Peter himself still counts as a pope.

100% on the first try, Italian here. I'm not even religious or passionate about this theme, but the Church has way too much influence here...
