Can't help with the Catholic Baptism as we aren't Catholic.

For choosing Godparents I can answer now seeing as we asked them on the weekend For Zander we asked one of our oldest friends & his DF (now DW). We chose them because they are close friends & thought they'd be really good to have in Zander's life. For this little bubba we have chosen my best friend & her DH to be Godparents. They are just wonderful people & sharing our parenting ideals almost exactly!
