Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns. They were the lead actor in the movie Juno.

Drag wonders if you think drag has just conjugated that verb as if Elliot were more than one person.

It is neither established nor at all how english works. You can't just always call something by name only, this isn't Japanese.

I/you/they is established, same as I/you/he or I/you/she. English is designed around pronouns. Even if what you did was more common, it would still cause massive confusion and make the English language not work properly.

If you wanna be innovative, use I/you/Drag or something, that might still work.
Where only 3rd person pronouns are not used.
Drag does not understand how languages are used, Drag should really think about practicality.
I still think even that is too impractical. Pronouns are used to communicate that the subject or object has not changed, information you have to process out yourself if pronouns are missing.
