"I chose a new name for myself too, when I left home," I said to Estevan. "We all have that in common."
"You did? What was it before?"
I made a face. "Marietta."
He laughed. "It's not so bad."
Taylor is making an observation that all of them have moved from their original homes and have changed their names. Taylor used to be Marietta, Estevan is changing his name to Steven and Esperanza changed her name to Hope. they all did it for different reasons. Taylor wanted a new life and Steven and Hope needed to change if for safety purposes. Sometimes everyone just feels like need a new start of life and a new place to be.
