Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change(改換)their names? Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easy to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name, because he wants to be cool.
People have a lot of reasons(原因)for changing their names. Movie stars, singers, sportsmen often change their names because they want names that are different, or that have special sounds. They also chose the “new name”for good luck.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Rasheed Shyyab from Turkey changed his name to Ran Shide when he moved to China. He used Ran at his job and at school. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new countries.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married(結婚). But today, many women are keeping their own family names. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations(情況)and their husband’s in other situations.
