We are not exactly sure which acting company Shakespeare started his career with: Queen Elizabeth's Men, Lord Strange's Men, Suffolk's Men, Pembroke's Men or Derby's Men have all been mentioned as possible acting companies Shakespeare worked for before 1594. He may have worked for all of them for all we know. But what we do know is that in 1594 Shakespeare was made a partner in a new company made up mostly of actors from Lord Strange's men, and it is this company which Shakespeare worked with for the next twenty years or so, although the personnel and even the name of the company changed from time to time. It is known usually as the Lord Chamberlain's Men or the King's Men, but it was throughout the same company. So it is impossible to say which acting group was Shakespeare's second, but it is certain that the Chamberlain's/King's Men was his last.

Which famous lord did shakespeare name his acting group after?

Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.
