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.
