[lactivist]

My now 8yo son had an imaginary friend for about 4 years. He came around when ds was 2 and drifted away around 6 years old. His name was Jimmy and he was like a part of our family. We heard many tales about Jimmy and all his exploits. I miss Jimmy. :)
Wendi :kid:

[mamachandi]

[mcsarahb]

And she calls herself "Flowercard" when Conti is around.

[lucysmom]

Marcia and "Dada" (who is a very small lady, probably a fairy, who lives in a small hole in the wall).

[Destinye]

DD's imaginary friend is called Emily.

[rmzbm]

Jim. But he's gone, thank God! :lol

[catgirl]

The Williams were "my 10 William and my 11 William". The Abbis were younger - "my 4 Abbi and my 5 Abbi". They got bossed around more, naturally. :lol

My brother's were Feedee, Googoo and Bambu. I had a whole family, but the only ones I can remember were William (yep, I guess it's hereditary!), Smee who was a kind of pirate figure, and an older girl called Ariel (not Disney as this was LONG before that - more like a TV ariel. Now you know I'm REALLY old!) who was kind of motherly and took care of the others, including me. I think she may have been based on wendy in Peter Pan, now I think of it.

:flyby1 Brian and Christopher

We don't even play with a Brian or Christopher. Those are ex loves of mine from a long time ago~=) She came up with the names one weekend when I was out of town.

Her first Beta fish is named "DODA FISH"

My oldest dd's first imaginary friend, at around 18mos, was Baby Butterfly. Baby Butterfly went everywhere with us, until I inadvertently squished her with my purse while she was sitting in the grocery cart next to Mikaela. Oops. Around age 3 1/2 she became friends with Nobody, who lived in Nowhere, ate Nothing, and was friends with No One. So creative. I don't even remember having imaginary friends myself.

[dillonandmarasmom]

DS (39 mos) has Bandy (his 'worker'), Jim and Jay (his friend that he visits and eats pizza with.
Each morning he asks me to pack he and his worker a lunch and he walks out to the backyard and gets Bandy strapped into her seatbelt in our old Honda and he drives...to 'work'...in Sacramento.:lol

He is too fun to watch. We ask him questions about these friends and he answers them very seriously, sometimes matter-of-factly. He amazes me!

[meemee]

apparently the soft toys in our house should have names (she totally is not attached to any one of them) - like chupak the elephant, ooogies the dog, etc but our imaginary friends dont have 'names'. she does not like giving them names. there is brother, sister, baby and nobody. she was v. insistent about it right from the begining. her doll was called the girl with no name.

[teachma]

Dd 28 months has two more popular imaginary friends whom she calls See-See (or C.C., perhaps) and Collie. Since she plays with them and talks on the phone with them, I imagine them to be little girls like herself, but we haven't conversed ever about who, exactly, they are. The others are Polly and Holly. I think she created the names Collie, Holly and Polly because they rhyme with her nickname. She is big into rhyming!

Ds, almost 6, never had a single imaginary friend. Or much of an imagination. Weird, I always thought.

[XM]

Huh? So Bedee might be an indicator of giftedness? He's been talking to/about Bedee forever, and we kinda chalked it up to being a quirky kid (DH also had an imaginary friend as a child). But I was poking around in this fourm and rather suprised to see this thread... go Bedee!

I never had an imaginary friend myself, although I did test as gifted. :shrug:

[~*SugarMama*~]

Donald Gina is the resident imaginary friend here. Somedays, its a boy....somedays, its a girl. Sometimes a human and sometimes (well, more often) its an animal, usually a dog.

No idea where DD came up with the name but she is seriously attached to it.

[koofiesguychuck]

DD has many imaginery friends and comes up with new ones all of the time, but my personal favorite is "Chita Lita". I don't know where she got it from - but it cracks me up every time ol' Chita Lita comes around.

[angelpie545]

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

[mata]

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

[LeftField]

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".

[teachma]

My 2 year old is going to name his future baby, "Saxophone".

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. :shrug

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

they joined us when dd#1 was about 3. they still protect all of us at night and scare away bad guys.
