Shakespeare's writing ability was already well-established before he was invited to become one of the charter members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men. In all likelihood, that was an important reason to include him as a sharer. Therefore we can assume that Shakespeare began writing for the Lord Chamberlain's Men from the moment it was formed in 1594.

The name was changed by King James I. When he came to the throne, he took over patronage of the company. When the patron changed, the name changed.
