I did quite a bit of research, but found so many different views on the subject.

Kind of on topic, but while I've been in Japan the only time I've ever heard someone refer to themselves as any of the above was when someone sat on the TV remote and bumped the volume up to top notch and we were tying to figure out who it was. The rest of the time its been their own name or 自分. Or by status such as パパ, but my fave is 姉々 haha. So.. sometimes its more realistic not to refer to yourself.
