We are hoping to get ds christened fairly soon but are having trouble thinking of/choosing Godparents. The obvious choices would be mine and dh's parents and/or brothers and sisters but they live along way away and only see ds 3-4 times a year. The same applies to all our old friends who we might have asked but we moved house a couple of years ago and although we talk on the phone, we rarely see each other.
So we are trying to think of other people but don't really feel we know anyone that well yet. (Doesn't help that dh and I are both pathetically shy).The vicar has told us to not to choose people just because they are our friends but to try and choose people who are likely to be ds's friend. There is one lady at church who ds seems to have adopted. He goes off and sits with her every week in the service and follows her around afterwards. I think he'd follow her home if he had the chance. We have wondered about asking her, but otoh we don't really know her very well.
So how did you pick your dc's Godparents?
