I don't think they're supposed to?
For that matter, do Japanese people even use an honorific after their own name?
Does anyone know? (just wondering, that's all) |
I seem to remember that using "-san" after one's own name is thought of as very arrogant and self-glorifying. It's similar to calling yourself "the esteemed so-and-so", and doesn't make you look all that good.
