Shakespeare did not spell his name the same way all of the time. The several examples of his signature which exist show a variety of spellings including "Shaksper". The spellings of the name by other people are even more diffuse: his name is spelled in more than twenty different ways by his contemporaries. This was no big deal--at that time people did not get exercised about spelling, as you can tell if you read an original copy of the Quarto or Folio versions of his writings.
