How does it express its dislike?  Both work for me:

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    int max_ncp = 42;
    {
        std::vector<std::string> component_names(max_ncp);
        std::cout << component_names.size() << ' ';
    }
    {
        std::vector<std::string> component_names(max_ncp, "");
        std::cout << component_names.size() << '\n';
    }
}

The output is "42 42".

That defines an array (not a std::array, just a C-style array object) of
max_ncp vectors.  I think you want a single vector.

Do you want to set the initial size or the initial capacity?
