> Cardinal Pizzaballa

Not going to lie, I had to check that this was a real name (it is)

Is this the guy they where hoping would take the name Papa John?

That would have been amazing. (And not impossible, there have been plenty of Popes named John.)

I have a coworker right now whose name is Carmelo Martini. Seriously, I had to ask him: "did your parents name you after their favorite drink?".

I get the joke but it goes the other way around. Martini is a common family name from the north of Italy (Carmelo is common given name in the south). The drink was named after the name of company producing it (actually half of it.) The company was named Martini because that was the family name of the founder.

Much like how a first name Mercedes or a last name Ford isn't necessarily a person named after a car. The cars are named after people

If we're doing funny name corner, I still remember Cardinal Sin (of Manila).

Yeah, his full name is even better: Pierbattista Pizzaballa

Personal motto: Sufficit tibi gratia mea ('My grace is sufficient for you')

This guy is a baller.

His name makes me super hungry
