Pedro Martin: My name is Pedro Martin. My father's name is Pedro Martin. That makes me a Pedro Martin Junior. I don't use the junior just because it sounds weird, but I do like being the son of Pedro Martin. So, I'm either Pedro Martin the second or Pedro Martin the lesser, one of the two. I've gone by Peter, Peter Martin, for a long time of my career. My nieces and nephews call me Pipilili, which is what I say to the dogs when I want them to go to the bathroom outside. I say, "Go Pipilili." So, that makes my nieces and nephews laugh. My cousins called me Perekin, which is a little bird. I don't get it. My other cousins call me Pito, which is a whistle, and my mom used to call me Pito Palito, which means little wooden whistle. But then when I grew up and I gained a lot of weight, she changed it to Pito Palote, which is big fat wooden whistle.
So I've gone through the whole gamut of names, and I've come back around to my original Pedro Martin, which I love dearly, and I go by it all the time.
