The question's pretty much been answered but like royalty, the reigning monarch (or Pope) can choose his name by which he is to be known as Supreme Pontiff.
Which is why Prince Charles has four different names to choose from: Charles Philip Arthur George. He could also pick a totally different name. (Prince William's given names are William Arthur Philip Louis, and Prince Henry ('Harry') is Henry Charles Albert David.)
