Their were about 40 different men, who wrote the bible. Among the writers were prophets, shepherds, kings, fishermen, a tax collector, a physician, married and unmarried, rich and poor, people from all walks of life.
In Bible and many religious books the word shepherd is used as a metaphor for god, the one who leads the flock of confused clouds of thoughts as a metaphor for sheep. He directs our thoughts to positivity and true essence of life called love.
The word choir does not appear in the KJV, although there are occasions where such is implied such as the angels who sang praises which were witnessed by the shepherds upon Jesus' birth.
The Bible does not tell us exacly how many there were. We do know there was more than one because it says "they".

If you are asking about the shepherds in the bible, in the New Testament there were going to see baby Jesus. There were headed to Bethlehem in Judaea.
Be sure and check your info with the Bible. The Wise Men were following a star, in order to find Jesus. The shepherds were different.
We have no idea what the shepherd's names were. Luke 2:8-20 is the only mention of these characters in the Scripture, and we are not told of their names. Also, you ask what the "three" names were--we are also not told of the number of shepherds who came to visit the Lord Jesus Christ.
No, the Bible does not individually name them.
Shepherds and Shepherding were a major occupation during Biblical times. Most people could relate to that reference easily.
