A childhood belief about imaginary friends

When I was a baby, my brother had an imaginary friend called Brenda Pineapple. Although sometimes, he would tell people that his name was Brenda Pineapple. Wehn I was about 4, he had changed to Johnny Boy, and since I didn't have any interest in having an imaginary friend, he decided to create one for me, and he would make up elaborate things that they would do. When we went places, he would say "Come on Johnny Boy!" and then he would nudge me and I would half-heartedly say "Come on Johnny Girl." The weirdest thing, is his daughter has a couple of imaginary friends, Milo is the main one and he is really bad. If something happens "Milo did it!"
