This was apparently paul's preference since he is called paul in all other bible books where he is mentioned, including those that he authored Paul the apostle, originally known as saul of tarsus, is one of the most influential figures in early christianity Adopting his roman name was typical of paul's missionary style.

Saint paul the apostle, one of the early christian leaders, often considered to be the most important person after jesus in the history of christianity
Of the 27 books of the new testament, 13 are traditionally attributed to saint paul, though several may have been written by his disciples.
Paul’s early life was marked by religious zeal, brutal violence, and the relentless persecution of the early church Fortunately, the later years of paul’s life show a marked difference as he lived his life for christ and for the advancement of his kingdom Paul was actually born as saul. During his ministry he resurrects at least one person from the dead and is resurrected himself after being stoned to death
Paul carries out at least five evangelistic journeys, visits more than 50 cities in his travels and preaches the gospel to emperor caesar and his entire household. Writing thus to a community, paul gave free expression to the main concerns that preoccupied him concerning the life of the church and, above all, concerning faith To facilitate the reading we can group its themes around three main centers The necessity of faith, the riches of the faith, the demands of the faith.
