what are the imaginary friends' names? - Page 2

DD#1 has a imaginary friend named Coco. Coco is apparentally a very good eater and loves to swing outside. She loves puppies too.

my oldest's imaginary friends appeared when she was around 3-and they were all skeletons-her "skeleton friends."

My oldest never really had imaginary friends. All his cars had names, however, in addition to birthdays, personalities, etc. He says that when he has a baby, that he's going to name it, "Little Muffin". There have been a few times in the store that he's asked me to buy clothes for Little Muffin.

My 2 year old is going to name his future baby, "Saxophone". He has an invisible baby dragon as a friend, but he does not have a name, just "baby dragon".

A much kinder way to name a child than what my brilliant little brother decided at age 10. "I'm going to name my child Qxgyzjkz and pronounce it 'Fred.'" Sick child!

I hope nobody takes this wrong, but why is this a gifted issue?

I know plenty of kids of all different intelligence levels whom have had imaginary friends, including my both of my sons one who is quite average and one who is on the autism spectrum (which can look a lot like giftedness).

Just because it's in the gifted forum doesn't make it a gifted exclusive issue. The people here probably just want to share some things about their kids and this is one of them.

ours are the "skeleton friends." yes, the skeleton friends.
