Close. Although I don't know grammar, se and te can be reflexive. And that se, not only pertains to the Third person.

With regards the question, "llamarse" is not reflexive but a pronominal verb, however, the "se" and "te" have reflexive "self" meanings. - Eddy, May 15, 2013

Te and se are both direct object pronouns for the word you. Te is the famiiar you and Se is formal you. Se also means herself, himself, itself.

I believe "se" is not a direct object pronoun. It can be an indirect object pronoun when it replaces "le" or "les" in certain phrases such as, "se lo di", I gave it to him. - Eddy, May 15, 2013

In your example,

Te is used in the second person singular conjugation of llamarse.

Se is used in the Third person singular conjugation of llamarse.
