I don't get it. You never meet a guy named Francis, unless his middle name is Xavier.
Sure, there's a strong Jesuit tradition here, but how many Ignatious Loyala's do you meet?

Why not Francis Assisi? Mmm...never mind.

But, if it's inquisitors who are so popular, why not go for Thomas Torquemada?

Pope Francis is named after Francis of Assisi, so there's that.

Yeah, but he chose that himself when he got popified.

To me, this combo is kinda like being named Aaron Burr - the guy was just not the kind of
big deal (and certainly not in a terribly good light). Why would his name persist so very much?

Well, he was the star of 'Perry Mason' and 'Ironside', after all.
