Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want the names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. 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 school. But when staying with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.In many countries, a woman changes her family names to her husbands after she gets married.
