* In Thailand, it is extremely common to refer to oneself using their nickname as pronoun, and there's not even a set rule. Elder to younger, younger to elder, among friends, among couples, among family members, etc. The only rule seems to be only one or two syllable nicknames are used. Referring to oneself's first name or full name is still odd. Note that this is all in informal situations, and in formal situations you naturally revert to pronouns.

* Procedural rules in some situations can lead to this, as they may require a speaker to present information according to a given script in which the individual being spoken about is referred to in the third person, even if it's that same person doing the speaking. For example, when United States Vice President UsefulNotes/KamalaHarris had to announce the appointment of a group of new Senators, said group included Alex Padilla, who appointed to fill the Senate seat she vacated to become Vice President, meaning that she had to announce him as being there "to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of former senator Kamala D. Harris of California".

* Frankly, Bob Dole can't believe nobody's mentioned Bob Dole yet, and Bob Dole is very angry about that.

-->'''Harris:''' [[LampshadeHanging Yeah, that was really weird. OK.]]

* Procedural rules in some situations can lead to this, as they may require a speaker to present information according to a given script even if the person doing the speaking is also the person being spoken about. For example, United States Vice President UsefulNotes/KamalaHarris had to announce the appointment of a new Senator "to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of former senator Kamala D.

** Dole later claimed he did this because he felt the persona he had to affect while campaigning wasn't anything like the real Bob Dole. Kinda sad, really, especially considering it failed anyway.
