Make sure your function returns the values, rather than just trying to
mutate them in place.

def aa(mystring1, mystring2, mystring3):
    mystring1 += "something"
    mystring2 += "otherthing"
    mystring3 += "nobody"
    return mystring1, mystring2, mystring3

str1, str2, str3 = aa(str1, str2, str3)
