Shakespeare was one of the charter members of The Lord Chamberlain's Men but he was not the leader of the company and cannot be viewed as its founder. The leader of the company was Richard Burbage; Shakespeare was just one of the guys.
The company with which Shakespeare was associated was variously called Lord Hunsdon's Men (1594), Lord Chamberlain's Men (1594-1603), and the King's Men (1603-1642).
William Shakespeare did not change his name. His acting company did, however, change its name. His Theatre Company was originally called "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" after the Lord Chamberlain, an official responsible for theatres and other public entertainment. After the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 the company was granted a charter by the new King, James I, and the company changed its name to The King's Men.
