Exodus 3:1 3 (iv) Now Moshe was tending the sheep of Yitro his father-in-law, the priest of Midyan. Leading the flock to the far side of the desert, he came to the mountain of God, to Horev.
So we have Yitro as his father in law but before we see his name is Reuel in Exodus 2:18.
So my question for study is why is their two names mentioned? Is one a title and one a actual name?

That is interesting! Here are a couple more verses to consider?
(בַּמִּדְבָּר) B'midbar Numbers 10:29 Moshe said to Hovav the son of Re‘u’el the Midyani, Moshe’s father-in-law, “We are traveling to the place about which ADONAI said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, because ADONAI has promised good things to Isra’el.” (CJB)
(שופטים) Shoftim Judges 4:11 Now Hever the Keini had cut himself off from the rest of Kayin, the descendants of Hovav Moshe’s father-in-law; he had pitched his tent near the oak at Tza‘ananim, which is close to Kedesh. (CJB)

If you click on the link it shows some of the uses of his father in laws name. I personally think that it is of course the same person but as time went on the titles of which he was known as changed. Reuel was his name, the rest are titles.
