    Except a dragon speaker should know that personal pronouns are a part of the dragon language, and that the Eorzean counterpart would not really refer to themselves in third person, but instead use first person "I", as that is not a dragon convention, and anyone teaching Eorzean language (or any immersion language, reading, etc) would not encourage the use of speaking in third person.

    From the dragonspeak lore post
    "Speaking of sentence subjects, whereas English employs several types of pronouns, dragonspeak has only the following three:

    1st person = a[n] (covers: we and I)
    2nd & 3rd person = i[n] (covers you, he, she, they)
    3rd person inanimate = a[h] (covers it, that, this, those)"

    And
    "Possessive pronouns are no different from the pronouns listed above:

    My/Our vengeance - a[n] sja[h]s
    Your/His/Her/Their vengeance - i[n] sja[h]s
    Its vengeance - a[h] sja[h]s"

    Which show that dragons refer to themselves as "I/We/Our" and not by their names.

    It is also unlikely for a dragon, or one raised by dragons, to be considered feral, given the high intellect of the dragons.



    More on topic- I am really looking forward to this interior change.
