The pronunciation is this (if I'm not mistaken): the "Per" is like the English "pair", then the next ed is like "Ed," and the last syllable is like the German "Uhr", which is pronounced like "oor." Pair-ed-uhr.

My Welsh is not great, but I think it's
peh REH dir
the middle syllable is sort of like "ray" without the final eee (not so dipthong-y)
The last syllable is like German dür in N. Wales, like dir (short "i" like "it") in South Wales
R's are rolled
Welsh is generally accented on the penultimate (second to last) syllable.

Thanks everyone! Forvo is usually the first place I look at, but I wanted to double-check.
I think I'll be pairing it with Joseph -- Joseph Peredur.
