While this name is quite common in the Hispanic world, I see nothing wrong with it and find that it suits pretty much anyone who desires to distinguish themselves with it.

I'm Brazilian and I think this is kind of overused. But I still like it, since it was my grandfather's name, and is my little brother's.

I think this name has a far greater sound that I find pleasant and elegant. It is a distinguished forename that, although popular in the Spanish speaking world, can effectively be introduced anywhere as it does not require further verification on how to spell nor write it since it is simple. A definite charm of a name variant for Peter.

I loathe this name more than any words could ever explain. It's cheap, horrible, ugly and unattractive.
I absolutely love this name. This guy in my school that likes me is named Pedro. Extremely handsome name.

I don't mind this name, however my only problem is that it reminds me of "Pedo" & "Pedophile" and any other associated words. You take out the R and yeah, it may get said as "Pay-do" but it is also an English word. A very bad one at that.

Actually, it's pronounced Pêdro. Like "Ê" is like how you say shit. You say something like shêt, and not shít, right? That's actually the sound you should make when saying Pedro. I know it's not the best of examples, but it's the only one I can think of right now. XDBy the way, my name is Pedro and I am Portuguese, so I actually know how to pronounce it. :)
I don't like this name, but a important peson is Pedro Almodovar. He's the most internationally acclaimed Spanish filmmaker. He's an Oscar winner for "All about my Mother".
People with the name Pedro are kind, handsome, and possess talent (music?). Also, they never give up.

Aside from Napoleon Dynamite's Pedro (the movie popularized the "Vote for Pedro" shirts that have been growing more common), there's also a one man band called Pedro the Lion.
