sometimes its for purely personal reasons, such as the nobel prize winning poet from chile, neflali reyes. he didnt want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to pablo neruda when he was a young man.at other times the reason may appear eccentric; take the case of the portuguese poet fernando pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. the reason ?” when i use a different name, i always write in a different way, he explained. in most cases，however ,the reason is for social, historical, political, or cultural reasons. here are some of most common :the persons real name is just too long and difficult to remember. lets be honest, madonna louise ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain madonna. and short names are much easier to remember：william bradley became brad pitt and edson arantes do nascimento became pelesometimes names are changed for marketing purposesfor example，if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market . so in the film world, ramon estsvez adopted the name martin sheen. or maybe the artists doesnt sound very attractive - chad everett does sound a lot better than raymond cramto.artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. robert zimmerman changed his name to boo dylan because of his admiration for the welsh poet, dylan thomas.another reason may be practicality: in the past, women found it very difficult to get publishedto avoid this situation theys situation they sometimes gave themselves mens names, so the english author mary ann evans became george eliot, and she did get her books published!第六篇 reform on the road will the reform on the use of government cars really reduce office expenditure on his count?
