Shakespeare had nothing to do with the name of the acting company he co-founded. The name was given by the company's patron or sponsor. When the patron changed, so did the name of the company.

Who did shakespeare change his companies name in honor of?
Elizabethan acting companies took the names of their patrons--by law, no acting company could exist unless it was sponsored by a noble or royal patron. This was automatic; neither Shakespeare nor anyone else could change the name of the company. The name of the company did not "honor" anyone, it showed who was giving the actors legal protection.
Why did Shakespeare's acting troupe change their name from 'The Chamberlain's Men' to 'The King's Men'?
Theatrical troupes or companies of Shakespeare's day were named after their patrons, or sponsors. During Queen Elizabeth's reign it was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men because their sponsor was Baron Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain. When King James I came to the throne he became the patron so the company was called the King's Men.

What was William Shakespeare adopted name?
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.
How were the names of William Shakespeare's two acting companies chosen?
Just to make it clear, Shakespeare was associated with only one acting company for almost all of his career. It was the only company he was actually a partner in. But it did have two names. The reason for this is that the names for acting companies in Shakespeare's day were never chosen by anyone. It's not like nowadays where if you start an acting company you can call it anything you want. In those days the name of your company was the name of your patron. Period. If you changed patron, or if the patron changed his name or his job, your company's name would change, and you had nothing to say about it. If a group of actors in Shakespeare's day tried to say "We're the Happy Day Players", they would get a visit from the police who would say "Happy Day Players, eh? That means you have no patron" and throw them all in jail.
