To a certain extent, one could refer to Nine and Jack as Rose's boys (if Rose said jump, they would argue but eventually come around to asking "how high?"), but that's not the dominant dynamic as it is with Eleven and Rory as Amy's boys.
Yeah, each person had importance in the Nine/Rose/Jack dynamic (which I hope will eventually also apply to the Eleven/Amy/Rory relationship as well), but there was a very clear-cut boss and that was Nine. This time, the Doctor is nominally the leader but as far as the emotional/relationship aspect goes, Amy's in charge.
It's also just really nice to have two Companions again -- correcting for differences in writing style/skill over the years, I think the show's more interesting when there are at least two Companions. Add one more character and have three times the relationships to develop!
The Doctor was indeed hilariously awkwardtastic. Eventually it even got through his thick Time Lord skull that he ought to be embarrassed, which really takes monumental awkwardness.

- I love that Nine had his companions, but Eleven is one of Amy's boys with Rory. It's an interesting character contrast.
- THE LIBRARY CARD. OMG.
