Francis or Leo 3/1 favourites for Next Pope's Papal Name with bookmakers

There is plenty of speculation around who will be the next Pope and bookies are giving odds on what the next Pope's Papal Name will be.

A papal name is taken by Pope's as the name that they are referred to during their reigns and historically going forward too.

The name is usually picked by the incoming Pope and has been copied from previous Pope's they have liked in the past.

What is a Papal Name?
A papal name or pontificial name is the regnal name taken by a pope. Both the head of the Catholic Church, usually known as the pope, and the pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (Coptic pope) choose papal names.

Betting odds have Pius as a 4/1 chance despite not being used since 1958

Pius is joint second favourite in the betting market to be the next Pope's Papal name with a 20% chance according to the odds.

The last Pope to use the word was Pope Pius XII, whose Papacy ended back in 1958.

More than 60 years on we could see the name being used again for the thirteenth time but two names are above Pius in the market.
