The Lord Chamberlain's Men (the company formed in 1594 of which Shakespeare was a charter member) did not change their name. It got changed for them when the identity or title of their patron changed. The actors had no control over the name of their company.
Shakespeare was a founding member of Lord Hunsdon's Men, who almost immediately changed its name to the Lord Chamberlain's Men upon Hunsdon's elevation. In 1603, King James I became its new patron and it became the King's Men.
Shakespeare was a charter member of The Lord Chamberlain's Men when it was first formed in 1594 out of members of older companies which had folded during the long theatre closure of the previous year. It took its name (as all Elizabethan and Jacobean acting companies did) from the name of its patron, Henry Carey, Baron Hunsdon, who was the Lord Chamberlain. Henry died and his son, George Carey, also Baron Hunsdon, took over the patronage of the company, which then became Lord Hunsdon's Men. The younger Carey in time also became Lord Chamberlain, so it reverted to the Lord Chamberlain's Men. On the accession of James I, the new king took over patronage of the company which then became the King's Men.
From 1594 to his retirement from the world of the theatre, Shakespeare worked with the same theatre company, first called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and later the King's Men. The leader of the company was Richard Burbage.
None of the theatres Shakespeare was involved in changed their names.
William Shakespeare was a minor shareholder in The Globe Theatre. He, as well as the other owners, was a member of the theatre company that played there, The Lord Chamberlain's Men later called the King's Men. Since Shakespeare was the company playwright, all of his plays were played by that company and often at that theatre (but not always)
Shakespeare did not join a theater company in 1534. He wasn't born until 1564. In 1594, he joined a theater club called Lord Chamberlain's Men.
It wasn't. The Globe was the name of one of the theatres they played. The New York Rangers are not the same as Madison Square Garden. Shakespeare's acting company was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and later, The King's Men.

After 1594, Shakespeare wrote all of his plays for his theatre company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men (later the King's Men). It was the acting company that owned the script.
A theatre is a building and a person cannot become part of a building. What, do you think Shakespeare was a door or a railing? Shakespeare was part of a Theatrical Company, that is to say, a group of actors, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and later The King's Men.
For most of his career, from 1594 to 1613, a period of almost twenty years, Shakespeare worked with the same theatre company, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and later the King's Men.
Shakespeare spent most of his productive life with the same theatre company, which changed its name three times. The names of theatre companies in Shakespeare's day came from the noble or royal patron of the company. The actors were theoretically employed by this patron, although really they were both self-supporting and self-directing. If you work for McDonald's, do you think you can change the name of the company? Of course you can't, and neither could Shakespeare. The first patron of the company was Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain, and so it was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Mr. Carey died but his son George Carey, Lord Hunsdon took over the patronage, so the company was called Lord Hunsdon's Men. Later he got promoted to Lord Chamberlain, so they became the Lord Chamberlain's Men again. When Queen Elizabeth died her successor James I became patron of the company which naturally was then known as The King's Men.

The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594 and Shakespeare was one of its charter members, so he didn't actually join it. He had by that time already written a few plays and was an actor. Later, under King James I, the Lord Chamberlain's men changed their name to the King's Men. This company did not own the Globe Theatre or any theatre; that was a different group of partners, one of whom was also Shakespeare.
Yes. The Globe was and is William Shakespeare's theatre, although a replica of it had to be rebuilt later.
William Shakespeare mainly worked for and later part-owned a theatre company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. The company was sponsored by the same person whose name it bore. The company operated principally out of theatres in London, or rather in the suburbs of London since large theatres were not allowed in the city itself.
