Well, to add to the mix, apparently St. Francis Solano, a Franciscan who was educated by Jesuits and a missionary to South America and is known as the Wonder Worker of the New World, is patron saint of Argentina (and Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Peru). That had to have factored in.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Francis is for all three St. Francises.
To answer amIblue, on tv they have mentioned cardinals go-in with a name in mind (should they be chosen) because it is the second immediate question they are asked after they are voted-in.
I have been HOPING for a Pope Francis...got my wish!

Thanks! It seemed like they knew the name quickly.

What's the first? And couldn't they just ask God real quick?
