Use of Pronoun

Hello dear friends,
Please assist me...

This question is about the sequence of pronouns, we say:

2nd person, 3rd person, 1st person pronouns
You, he and I are good friends.

(In case of if there is something unethical/negative to say...)
1st person & 3rd person pronouns

I and he called his names.

But if i have to mention 1st, 2nd and third person pronouns then what will be the sequence???

I, he and you called his names (Is it correct?)

There is not any syntax rule for order of pronouns as subjects in a sentence that I know of. He, you, and I are good friends. I, you, and he are good friends.

Certainly.
1) I calling his name. Juliet, from the balcony, called his name - Romeo, Romeo, where are you, Romeo?
His is the possessive case of the pronoun "he", modifying "name". - His name is Romeo. My avatar is AlpheccaStars.
Name is usually singular. People have only one name. But here is an example of plural:

In Nigeria, people give their babies man
