Three Protagonists: One Boy and Two Girls

Hello. So in my verse, the main protagonists are Two Girls and a Guy. The guy in question is the Protagonist, with the two girls being the Deuteragonist and Tritagonist respectively. So my question is it a bad thing to use this?

Edit: Their names are Yuri Albalogia, Luna Havenreach Stratos, and Corona Vermillion.

And why not? It worked in Three's Company.

Haven't watched that sorry.

Nothing inherently problematic in it, basically.

Well, other than the silly names, but that's just my hardly-unbiased opinion.

There's nothing wrong with having girls be important to the story. Girls are people too, you know.

Point is, write it well and their gender won't really matter in that regard.

Why would there be any problems at all in having one boy and two girls? There's no law anywhere that says the men have to outnumber the women or there has to be equal numbers of both, and there's nothing inherently wrong with the dynamic or the trope.

It worked even better in Man About The House, which was the original and had the enormous advantage of not having John Ritter in it.

Granted. But at the cost of not having Jenilee Harrison in it.

...Would you be surprised if I told you that Corona and Luna tried to legitimately kill him Yuri when they first met before becoming friends? On two separate occasions? Also, I'm going to introduce Yuri first then Luna and then Corona.

For those of you wondering what genre this story is in it's sci-fi fantasy. Magitech and the like.

And the names...where here's a list of ten character names I made (this is not all of them):

Malphas Tallon.

Seneca Cicero Mercury.

Latona Sunpath.

Sebastian Rayleth.

William Ironheart.

Neron Caesar.

Lilliana Havenreach.

Callisto di Montague.

Vincent Xavier Drake.

Hope this helps.

I don't see what point you're trying to make. Once again, there's nothing inherently wrong with having a two-girl-one-boy main cast. That's the question you asked, that's the answer you get. All else is irrelevant, until you want to turn it into a general story discussion.

Also, names remain silly and overdramatic throughout. /twocents

From the names alone I can't tell which is the boy and which are the two girls, so the above revelation means completely nothing.

Seriously. The names are so "out there" that any one of the original three could be tacked onto either sex. Most of the names are so silly that if you told me that Sebastian, William and Vincent were all girls, it wouldn't make them much stranger.

The names remind me of one of the questions in the Fantasy Writer Litmus Test wherein it asks "do you see nothing wrong with two people from the same remote village having [commonplace name] and [overblown foreign/made-up name]?"

They reminded me of that when I read the first three, the other ones dialled it Up To Eleven.

I think my main issue at this point is that if everyone is named in such a fashion I might eventually come to think of it as amusing and quirky, but at the moment it just makes me want to claw my eyes out.
