Assuming you meant professions, Shakespeare was an actor, a poet and a playwright. He also owned shares in the acting company in which he performed and which put on his plays, and in the two theaters in which the company performed.


How were the names of William Shakespeare's two acting companies chosen?

Just to make it clear, Shakespeare was associated with only one acting company for almost all of his career. It was the only company he was actually a partner in. But it did have two names. The reason for this is that the names for acting companies in Shakespeare's day were never chosen by anyone. It's not like nowadays where if you start an acting company you can call it anything you want. In those days the name of your company was the name of your patron. Period. If you changed patron, or if the patron changed his name or his job, your company's name would change, and you had nothing to say about it. If a group of actors in Shakespeare's day tried to say "We're the Happy Day Players", they would get a visit from the police who would say "Happy Day Players, eh? That means you have no patron" and throw them all in jail.
