HUMMM Peter?
Not sure what you are looking for. Peter preached the first gospel sermon beginning in Acts 2:14. The people who were converted later in Acts 2 became the first Christians. Nothing tells us who was baptized first.
Did the apostles baptize each other on Pentecost? Who was first?
Someone has pointed out, or should I say claimed, that Christian means Christ-like. Since, as seems probable, the name was given to the believers rather than taken by them, this may or may not have been the case in the beginning.
If we are to accept the proposed definition, then we have to assume the asker does not mean Jesus himself, as this would "violate" the language. It is impossible for someone to be "like" themselves. Similar is NOT exact.
This leaves us wondering what sort of twisted game the asker is playing :-/

Acts. Ch. 2. Pentecost. church of the Pentecost. Pentecostals, were Christians. That is the first "Body" the people had to put their church in. Peter was the first Christian. Peter was the "cleft", "mass", rock, Christ built His church on.
The actual name "Christian" did not appear until, Acts.26.
Acts 26:28
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
1 Peter 4:16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

The women at the tomb. They believed and saw him when all had abandoned him. Then he ask them to spread the word, which was counter-cultural, because at the time a woman's testimony meant very little. So Jesus puts this Good News in their hands.

the church at antioch were the first to be called christians, but i think peter was, because he was the first called disciple. john the baptist had his own following, but he had his doubts while he was in prison. he sent his followers to inquire if Jesus was indeed the Christ. i believe that he was convinced that Jesus was the Christ, after he got his answer.

Adam, then Eve.
The first humans made. Therefore the first believers in Christ. Hence "Christians"

Peter it's the religion he made up. Surprisingly Not many stupidly said Jesus. Then again they wouldn't know anyways.
P.S I never knew you were a one eyed gangsta, lol!
