The actors, new and old, in Shakespeare's company were called players. As were all other actors at the time.

What was the name of Shakespeare second acting group?

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.

Why did Shakespeare's men change their company name?

They didn't. The changes of name (there were actually three of them) took place because of changes in their patron. The first change was because the patron died and they got a new patron, the second because the new patron got a new title, and the third because the king took over as the patron. Neither Shakespeare nor any other member of their company had any say in the company's name, which was simply the name (or title) of the patron with "Men" or "servants" behind it. One thing's for sure: they were never called "Shakespeare's Men." Not only was Shakespeare not in a position socially to be a patron, but he was not even the leader of the company.
