4. So far, so good

Any idea on why he chose the name Leo? Not one used recently, certainly, and not one I would have like resurrected. When I first saw his picture I thought he looked a little too much like Paul VI or B16, neither of which I had any great love for. But his first address is a little nicer than either of theirs, so....maybe. I just wish he'd picked a better name. Some of the historical Leos were not so nice.
