Pope Domain Names: Taken or for sale, these are the top candidates

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936 in Buenos Aires, was the first Jesuit and Latin American pope, serving from 2013 until his death on April 21, 2025, at age 88 from a stroke and heart failure.

Known for his humility and progressive views, the late Pope Francis championed social justice and addressed clerical abuse. He will be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome per his wishes.

A mostly pre-selected group of cardinals will now vote to elect a new Pope that will become the new spiritual leader of the world’s Catholics. These cardinals already have a list of the most pious candidates.

The elected Pope will choose a new name to signify his new role as the Bishop of Rome and leader of the Catholic Church. The selection of a papal name is deeply symbolic and often reflects the new Pope’s personal vision for his pontificate.

The top candidate names for the new Pope are among the following:

• Francis II
• John Paul III
• Benedict XVII
• Pius XIII
• John XXIV
• Peter II
• Leo XIV
• Gregory XVII
• Paul VII
