We are having a naming day for DD2. had one for DD1 and yep, have nominated the Godparents.

We asked the people we wanted to be DDs Godparents as it was important that the right choice was made and that included whether they felt that they could be there for our girls come what may over their lifetime. It is, to us, a very big deal and important that the people that are our DDs Godparents have that commitment, and that it extends beyond our friendship.

Partners of the chosen Godparent dont need to be nominated. You can choose two separate people: especially if you are seeking different qualities and approaches ITMS.

We are using a celebrant for our ceremony. and will "gift" the godparents a small token on the day, after they have accepted etc etc.
