Surely. But popes are called by their first name, and almost always a first name they choose, so there won't actually be a Pope Pizzaballa.

He could be! Popes
pick
their new names, after all. But yeah, he'd probably pick "Innocent" or something less amusing.

I do wonder what would happen if some cardinal already named John or Gregory or some other indisputably papal name got elected. Would he keep his name?

He might be seen as presumptuous for already having a pope name and get sunk in the Vatican politics.
