There was no delay. Pope Linus took office soon after the death of St. Peter.
St. Peter served as pope from 33AD to 64 or 67AD - 31 to 34 years. The date Peter was martyred is still in question.
The most famous pope in my opinion is St Peter. Not only did he become a Saint, he was the first pope, he was pope for the longest amount of time and he was one of Jesus's apostle's.
If a new pontiff should take the name Peter, his name in Latin would be Petrus Secundus. In every day speech, most people would probably refer to him as "Pope Peter II," or simply, "Pope Peter." If they needed to distinguish between the two Peters in the same conversation or piece of writing, they might refer to the Apostle Peter as "Pope Saint Peter'" or "the first Pope," and to the other as "the present Pope." L'Osservatore Romano, the semi-official newspaper of the Holy See, would refer to the second Pope Peter as "Pietro II" (Pietro due).
The first pope after Peter was Pope Linus.
