Picking them one by one,
you would have 9 choices for the first pick,
which in each case would leave 8 choices for the second pick,
which in each case would leave 7 choices for the third pick.
All in all, there would be permutations of names picked in sequence.
However, each 3-name combination can be picked in different orders
(3 possibilities for first pick, and 2 for the second pick).
Since it does not seem that you care about picking order,
and those permutations include
different picking orders of the each 3-names combinations,
the number of possible combinations is
.
