help!!

What is it called when someone talks about themselves, using their own name?..Such as someone named Bob saying, "Bob really likes to go swimming".

Re: help!!

It is called talking about yourself in the third person.

1st person pronouns = I, me, myself, my, mine, we, us, ourself, our, ours
2nd person pronouns = you, yourself, your, yours
3rd person pronouns = he, him, himself, his, she, her, herself, hers, it, itself, its.

In a conversation:
1st-person: you
2nd person: the person you're talking to
3rd person: anyone/anything else
