Why People Use Pseudonyms（艺名）You can't choose the name given at birth，but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood．Of course，most people never change their names even if they feel（31）J about them．However，some people do take this course of（32）A--particularly artists!What makes an artist want to change their name？Sometimes it's for purely（33）Ereasons，such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile，Neftali Reyes．He didn't want his father to know he was writing poems，so he changed his name to Pablo Nenda when he was a young man．At other times the reason may appear（34）K； take the case of Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa，who wrote under 75different names．The reason？"When I use a different name，I always write in a different way，"he explained．In most cases，however，people do it for social，historical，political，or cultural reasons．Here are some of the most common：
The person's name is just too long and difficult to remember．Let's be honest，Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just（35）F"Madonna"．And short names are easier to remember．William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele．

Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire．Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan because of his（38）Bfor the Welsh poet，Dylan Thomas．
Another reason may be （39）G：in the past，women found it very difficult to become a well received writer．To avoid this situation，they sometimes gave themselves men's name，so the English author Mary Ann Evans consequently became George Eliot，and she did get her books（40）H!
