There are many reasons people change their names. Marriage is a very common one, as is divorce, and some people choose a new name for professional reasons. Others simply don't feel the name they were given at birth is the right one for them, and want to make their own decision about what they'll be called. A name change is a fairly simple process in most places, and generally one you can handle on your own, without the help of a lawyer. Learn more here.
