Naming someone "piedra" would look as dumb as calling him baptizing him "Stone", the Spanish Name is "Pedro"... It could be seen like a surname however... Pretty much like there is "Olivier Stone" but I haven't seen it as a surname by itself... I've seen it in surnames like "De la Piedra" which means "from the stone" or "of the stone"
