Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons.

Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound．They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.
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, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
