Does anyone know how they choose the names? (like John Paul, or Pius, or Benedict)

Well from what I hear they pick it through the actions of preceding popes with the same name. So to say like if he chose John, then he'd be a reformer like his predecessor, choosing Paul would show he might have a strong standing on morals, Gregory would go for a recovery of the Church's "lost treasures" such as liturgy and music, and Pius would suggest that he might just reject Vatican II and other reformations and go back to the more traditional vs. modern ways.
