Pau Casals i Defilló (29 December 1876 – 22 October 1973), known in English by his Castilian Spanish name Pablo Casals, was a Spanish and Puerto Rican cellist, composer, and conductor. He made many recordings throughout his career of solo, chamber, and orchestral music, including some as conductor, but he is perhaps best remembered for the recordings he made of the Cello Suites by Bach. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy (though the ceremony was presided over by Lyndon B. Johnson).
Pablo is a common name in the Spanish speaking world and is typically the “go to” name standard for random individuals in fiction when involving a person of Hispanic vintage. However, with that mentioned, I will concede that there is nothing wrong with, what is regarded by most Spanish speakers, as a classic.

My name is Pablo and I am proud of it, first I thought it was a very rough name for me, but now I am conscious of the history of my name, I think it is a very special name for a person who wants to be strong and safe and for someone who is always in constant change. It's a very unique name. I don't know why many people make fun of this name.

I have many friends that consider Pablo Picasso's work to be trash, but they only know the actual art and not the reason behind it. Picasso was living in a technologically advancing world, and he felt that art should advance as well. He reinvented his style endlessly, going from classical to cubist to surrealist to sculpture to masks, etc, etc. He also had natural drawing talents, able to draw like Raphael at age 13.Let people say what they think about Picasso. Pablo is a good name for an innovator or artist, as it has Picasso as an association.
When I was little, I loved to look through my parents' yearbooks and whenever I came across an African-American person with a huge afro I would point to it and name them all Pablo. I have no idea why.

Pablo Neruda (penname originally), a much loved poet from Chile.
Painter Pablo Picasso is a famous bearer. His birth name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
I think this name is very beatiful and strong. I like what it means: Humble. Where I come from this is a very common name but I find it very interesting specially because as a Christian believer a have a deep admiration not only for Jesus but for the Apostle Paul as well (Pablo is Paul in Spanish). I pretend naming my son Pablo.
