They did not change the name of the theatre. The name of their theatrical company did change when they changed patrons from Henry Carey the Lord Chamberlain to King James 1. The name of Elizabethan theatrical companies always gave the name of the patron of the company to show that the company was within the law. (An acting company without a patron was liable to prosecution as vagabonds) When the patron changed, the name automatically changed. The name could even change if the patron's title changed.
