7. That's nothing new

There's a long tradition of Americans changing their names. Usually it's in entertainment . . . quite a few entertainers have changed their names to be more American-sounding. Check the original names of these people:

Barry Manilow
Peter Coyote
Mel Brooks
Martin Sheen

And that's just off the top of my head. There are hundreds more. The same thing happened in my family. My sister decided at a young age she didn't like the Colombian name she had been given, so the family had it changed to one of her choice.
