I've also recently see this referred to as 'fourth person.' What are your thoughts on this?

I recently used this POV in a short story. The 'we' being the controlling thoughts in the protagonists head which mirrored the strictures of the wider society. It was fun to work with.

I've only recently heard of fourth person. It seems a reasonable way of referring to it. But I might prefer to reserve it for ghosts. Your use of 'we' sounds ideal.
