[Facts] And now for something completely diferent....
...and slightly juvenile, but intriguing all the same: names of imaginary childhood friends. Half a century ago, when I was 3 years old, I had two imaginary companions: "Deedee" and - I swear- "Rasputin" (or something very much like it). I was surprised a few years later to come across a real live Deedee. As for Rasputin, by the time I'd heard of him, the last thing I was interested in was imaginary friends. It seemed a bizarre coincidence that these turned out to be real names. (maybe they were bungled reincarnations!) My younger son had a friend called "Geega" which sounds like a Hindu god. Did anyone else have imaginary companions and make up names for them, and remember them?C'mon...'fess up now.
