The top three names which has been shared by most of the popes is as follows:
1. John - 21 times
2. Gregory - 15 times
3. Benedict - 15 times
You might wonder we have Benedict XVI as the current pope then how come the name was shared only 15 times. The reason for this being Benedict X was proclaimed as an anitpope. Do to a mixup in numbering there was never a Pope John XX.
