They won't let him in for the name alone
Sadly, they pick a less awesome name when they become pope
Oh yeah, forgot that
Sadly there's precedent. There was the famous case of the the German-born Cardinal Goestheveezell in being denied candidacy to the papacy in favour of the one who would later be known as John Paul II. Apparently nobody wanted to have to deal with jokes about Pope Goestheveezell.
Well he's required to choose a Pope name to be called by so it's not really a problem
