What should be the new name for Papa John's?

The legacy of this brand is tainted by Mr. John's unretractable remarks. His statement caused sales to fall 10% in July. I can't see a future where the name remains as is now that he is on the outs. The company needs to reframe its image.

So, monkeys, let's brainstorm a new name for Papa John's.

The simplest solution would be changing the name to either PJs or Papa's, but this does still represent the current name. I think they need to go bolder. My suggestion: Paulie Pepperoni

"Papa's" or "Papa's Pizza" ... you can't get rid of the Papa part, it's like Little Caesar could be short-named "Caesar's Pizza" but not "Little Pizza"

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
