How do they pick the fancy name? Does he get to choose?
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I belive he gets to choose. Nuns get to choose their new names too, right?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
McKinley did have a mountain named after him (but haven't we been calling the mountain Denali for a long time?)
(Interior) Alaskans are pretty damn adamant about calling Denali Denali, but everything official about the mountain calls it(him) Mount McKinley. The park is Denali Park, though.
Ratzinger, huh? Well, fuck.

He gets to choose. I think with nuns, they're named by the abbess when they enter the convent.
Bear in mind, all my info comes from reading In This House of Brede, and while I trust its accuracy, it's set in the 50's and 60's and might be outdated.

New Pope watch and post. It's the only way I'd get the news this fast.
That reminds me, while watching 24 last night, or more precisely while watching the preview for next week's 24, DH and I cheered when David Palmer showed up on screen. Made me all nostalgic for Giles' return...

I wonder if he'll go back to wearing the papal tiara?

I was sure it was going to be an Italian. So, the head of what used to be the Inquisition. Interesting.

I have very little Italian, but I think he basically asked for the people's prayers. Can't argue with that.
