Neither of the ladies in my office who are Catholic were able to answer this, so I thought I'd come here to GC.

Does the new pope get to pick his own name, or is there some sort of assigning process? I was just curious why he would pick Benedict XVI instead of something like John Paul III (for example) or whatever.
