By some mechanism, be it Time Travel, Alternate Universe, Literal Split Personality, or cloning, there are now two or more Alternate Self editions of a character. Each copy seems unable to get over the fact that every other copy is him/her/them/itself and this shows up with pronoun confusion.
Generally Played for Laughs, since even In-Universe it would make sense to simply use first and third person specifically to avoid this sort of thing. Incidentally, some languages feature a proximate-obviative system, where you have multiple third person pronouns to highlight the topic of a conversation: A sentence like "Alex hit Bob; he was upset", for example, would see two different words both meaning "he" depending on whether the speaker meant Alex or Bob (which itself depended on whether the speaker was focusing on Alex or Bob). For obvious reasons though, no known language has this for its first person pronouns.
Related to Time-Travel Tense Trouble. Compare My Future Self and Me. Also see One-Steve Limit, which can result in similar problems when averted. May lead to a Alternative-Self Name-Change.

Except, as it turns out, they're both parts of the same whole, as well as the "Heart of Gold" part of her, which is her most noble aspects, currently trapped in an iron heart.

Occurred briefly in the first season of Heroes between Hiro and Future Hiro, as highlighted on the quotes page.
And in the fourth season, Hiro goes back in time to the period of the first, talks to his younger self, then calls him(self) a moron after sending him(self) off on a mission intended to avert paradox.

Averted in one Calvin and Hobbes arc where Calvin and Hobbes use their time machine at 6:30 and travel two hours ahead so they can grab the completed homework assignment, then both Calvins go back an hour to find out why 7:30 Calvin didn't do it. Each Calvin refers to the others by the time they're from, and fortunately are all visually distinct (6:30 has goggles, 8:30 has goggles and is in his pyjamas).

Jade Sinclair (Generator) and her creations in the Whateley Universe. Jade's creations aren't really inventions. They're objects populated by a psychic clone of herself, including the character Shroud, who is claiming to be her sister Jinn. Even Jade can't keep her pronouns straight when talking about her selves, to the point that it is a Running Gag.
After Belphegor accidentally created Belphoebe (a teenaged female Drow clone with a mental imprint of Belphegor's memories), the two of them immediate start bickering over who was the 'real' Belphegor, with him also begging her to have sex with him; Belphoebe immediately declared that she now understood why every girl he'd asked out had turned him down.[1]

Ayakashi Triangle
Suzu turns out to be the Split Personality of the ayakashi medium spirit that was born with all her Past-Life Memories, who is known as either "Childhood Heart" or "Kanade". Suzu usually speaks of Kanade as another person or "the younger me". Kanade speaks of Suzu in much more confusing terms that blur the line between treating Suzu as herself or a different person. Most strangely, she'll sometimes use descriptive terms (like "Childhood Heart") that are spelled in kanji, but given the furigana that indicate she's actually saying "watashi (I)".
After Matsuri is split into boy and girl halves, they're usually simply called "Girl Matsuri" and "Boy Matsuri" by other characters. Each Matsuri tends to call the other "the boy/girl/other me"—or "fake" when they're more antagonistic.

Dave and Davesprite in Homestuck. John has some trouble figuring out how to refer to them.
Karkat uses "past me" and "future me" when talking to himself.
Every player has a dream self on the moon of Derse or Prospit respectively. Then time shenanigans get involved, both via literal time travel and time traveling messages. Then some of the dead selves end up coming back to life as separate characters from the "main" characters. It only gets more confusing when alternate universe counterparts to the heroes show up.
Then there's Pickle Inspector in Problem Sleuth. Things start getting out of hand with Past Future Pickle Inspector/PFPI, and in the end an infinite number of his past and future selves become the whole universe.
Hell, Dave in general. Being a Knight of Time, there's a bunch of alternate versions of him from stable time loops and splintered timelines in existence at any given time. At one point, Jade looks for him with her Junior Compu-Sooth Spectagoggles (basically scrying goggles) and finds fourteen different versions of him.

Schlock Mercenary:
The wormgate system creates a perfect duplicate of anyone sent through it, which is kept for interrogation by the Gatekeepers, who then kill the clone. The first characters who suffer from this problem are Doythaban and his gateclone Haban II, but this later becomes a galaxy-wide problem when billions of these clones are released. However, no-one suffers from it more than Gav, who clones himself 950 million times to escape, leading to an truly epic case of this trope.
At one point the Terran government tries to charge Kevyn with treason for mass-releasing the teraport designs. He points out that it was his now-deceased clone who released that information, not him, and thus he can't be charged with anything.
It also leads to some rather bizarre court cases, since there are some legal issues where the gate clones are not always considered separate individuals. In one case, a person had two death penalties against him for Manual Operation under the Influence (essentially getting a DUI on a starship, which both needs a manual operator to be installed and has rather dire results on a crash). When his gate clone turns up, the judge rules that, since the clone was created after the commission of the crime, it is perfectly legal for them to apply the second death penalty to the gate clone.
In the "A Hand of Aceys" storyline, a gate clone attempts to murder the original version of himself, but instead gets killed by the original acting in self defense. Since the clone and the original are legally the same person in that particular jurisdiction, the final police verdict ends up being attempted suicide.
The Gavs eventually found a way to differentiate themselves from one another, to the point where they are barely recognizable as Gav-clones. Especially the females.
Kevyn has to go through this again, during his attempt to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.
One guy sees a solution to his having two wives (wifes?). Unfortunately, they tell him that if said solution happens to rhyme with "gleesome", he'll be dead twice over.

In Songs of the Spheres, to prevent confusion, and to show off the fact that they've broken free of who they used to be, most of the ponies (and several other characters) come up with their own semi-unique identities, replacing their 'standard' names: Flutterfree Asquall, Evening Sparkle, Renee Jackson, et cetera.

Played for both laughs and drama in Farscape. In season 3 John is "twinned" by an alien device, and both Johns are perfect copies of the other, to the point that they can finish each others sentences and will have identical reactions to various situations. They only slowly start differing when they get separated and start experiencing different events. There is some humor derived from this situation, but it evolves into drama when the question comes up of which John will be able to romance Aeryn, and and culminates in a Heroic Sacrifice for one of them, treated with all the gravitas due to the death of the main character of the series, despite the fact that there's still a John Crighton running around.

Alan Grant in Curveball can make several copies of himself in distant locations. Unfortunately, this didn't come with the ability to keep track of which clone is doing what — he had to learn how to do that through experience. So, he always refers to his clones in the first-person singular, because to him, they are him.

In The 7th Voyage of Ijon Tichy a.k.a. 147 Vortexes by Stanisław Lem the titular space traveler cannot fix his ship alone and drives it into a gravity vortex to create a time loop that would bring another copy of him. Then into another to copy a spacesuit too. Unfortunately, the copies cannot agree on anything, keep beating each other, stealing chocolate and lumping the blame on "the Sunday one". And the poorly controlled ship keeps running into more vortexes bringing more Ijons from different times, including an old man who the others try to pump for information (after all, if he exists, he got out alive somehow), but turns out to be senile and forgetful, and 2 small children who end up saving the day.

Back to the Future:
During Back to the Future Part II Marty telephones Doc, leading to this exchange:
At the end of Part II and the beginning of Back to the Future Part III, Marty finds the 1955 Doc moments after he sent the Marty from the first film back to 1985. 1955 Doc faints when Marty tries to explain that he's come back from the future. As seen in Part III, the next morning, 1955 Doc thinks he hallucinated the whole thing till he finds Marty, who brought him home, with him in his house, and he hides in the bathroom while Marty tries to explain everything that transpired in the previous movie.

Averted by the Fel clones in the Hand of Thrawn duology. They have major, major Clone Angst, but each of them has named himself something different, dresses differently, and has different hair. They keep a common family name, Devist, and let people think of them as just a really close and fairly insular family, because they're desperately afraid of being discovered and killed for being clones. A brief stretch where one, Carib, is the viewpoint character and has a momentary existential meltdown ends as he strengthens his resolve by reminding himself what he's worked for.

The Link(s) from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask play it straight. Within minutes of meeting each other, they establish that the one from the end of Ocarina of Time will be called Ocarina, and the one who experienced Majora's Mask will be called Mask. Unlike the Four Sword users, they acknowledge that they are the same person; Mask once acts on a bet that Ocarina made using that logic. Word of Dante / Word of God is that Ocarina is afraid that he isn't good enough to eventually become Mask.

Danger Mouse has to suss out which of two Penfolds is real in "Penfold Transformed". Neither are—one is a robot duplicate planted by Dr. Crumhorn which converts into a menacing cyborg; the other is Stiletto in a Penfold outfit. The real Penfold was kidnapped by Dr. Crumhorn but managed to escape.
DM goes through this during "The Good, The Bad and the Motionless" when he meets his evil self at Stonehenge.

Android at Arms (1971): The protagonists wake on a strange world and learn that they have been kidnapped and stored as Human Popsicles, while being replaced by android duplicates. The question eventually arises, which one is the Robot Me (a Ridiculously Human Robot by necessity) and which is the original, and how to prove it? When the main character, Andas, confronts a much older version of himself on his homeworld, both are deeply shaken - each believes he's real, but how could a Robot Me be such a Ridiculously Human Robot as to do the various things each has done? (The protagonist refers to his older counterpart as "the false Andas"). Another variation happens later, when he and one of his companions wind up in an Alternate Universe, and he confronts a dying version of himself.

In the case where a clone needs to be distinguished to an earlier version of himself / herself who is no longer alive, the common usage in Cyteen and Regenesis is to refer to the original as "my / your predecessor" if they have the same name. Another usage is to refer to the elder of the pair as "senior", as in "Warrick" versus "Warrick senior".

The cast of Dimensional Links are the Links from almost all the Legend of Zelda games, but as a group they avert this by being very different from each other.
Green, Blue, Red, and Vio specifically avert this by considering themselves to be distinct individuals despite being originally one boy.
The Four avert this by being a Hive Mind; they think of themselves as one boy with four bodies, and referring to one of them refers to all of them.

In Hearthstone's Monster Hunt solo adventure, one of the available heroes is Toki the Time-Tinkerer, a gnome mage that specializes in rolling back time to trick out the game's random effects. And as the final boss of her run, she has to face Infinite Toki, a Bad Future version of herself, out to prevent some sort of a screw-up on her part. Both of them start referring to each other with "I" and "me", such as in declarations "I have to stop myself before I am too late!"

Kingdom Hearts is filled with this, to the point that this is practically the essence of most of the things that happened in all the side titles and the second main games of the series. Sora, Roxas, their Data versions as well as their memory editions are implied to be the same person though they all try to get their own unique identities and this causes a major emotional mayhem for them. Roxas eventually realizes this and gives up. It is also shown that the Sora we know has his heart connected with Ventus making him practically another version of him. Later it is shown that Roxas has the same heart as Ventus as well as his looks. Roxas' personality has an uncanny resemblance to the combine personalty of Ventus and Vanitas, who was yet another part of Ventus having the same appearance as a black-haired Sora. Xion is practically a female version of Sora with the looks of Kairi as Sora remembered her.
Riku has his own troubles with his replica, whom he eventually kills in battle, shattering the replica's dream of defeating and then becoming the original Riku.
