My hubbies greek and his parents have very strong values and i was raised catholic but havent really followed it i guess since i was old enough to choose what i wanted to do.
Anyhow we had the same dilemma, in the end to acknowledge my kids births we had a naming day but it was unofficial a few family members said some nice thngs, i wrote a nice poem, we had a bbq and we bought a nice tree for the garden for each child. It was just a nice day to show her off and catch up with close freinds and family and very informal and in the end everyone said how nice it was!
We did however choose godparents, but not that we class them as that lol, just someone we know we can trust to care for the kids should anything happen to us!
Good luck with what you do, its not easy when both sides of the familes have such strong beliefs but they should respect what you choose to do.

My DH is practically an aethiest and I am not sure what I believe anymore so we didn't have our kids baptised cause it seemed kind of hypocritical since we didn't go to church. My parents were unhappy because they do go to church but in the end they knew it was our decision and accepted it. I think if you explain that since you don't go to church you don't see the need for it maybe they will understand (or maybe not LOL)
