This reminds me, about 5 years ago, a work colleague of my DH asked him and me to be their grandaughter's Godparents, as we seemed like a 'solid couple.' Married for over a quarter century, not like most others she knew who were divorced, or never married.
I had never even met the woman's daughter, (the mother of the baby,) and I had only met HER 3 or 4 times in the 18 months she'd worked there. She asked DH - and he said 'yes OK then...' I said to him 'you have to be fucking kidding me!' He said 'oh why not? Seems like a nice thing to do.' I said 'I don't know the woman, and I have never even met her daughter. I couldn't pick her out a bloody police line-up. So no fucking way!' 
This colleague of DH's was so pissed off and annoyed, and messaged me on facebook (not on my friends list, but messaged anyway,) and said 'why have you talked your DH out of you two being Godparents?' I said 'I barely know you, and I have never even met you daughter, so sorry, but it's a definite no.' She said 'well you're not invited to the Christening then' and blocked me on facebook! 😂
She also flatly ignored DH at work after that whenever she saw him. Luckily she left after another 2 or 3 months.
tl;dr This just reminded me. When some people are looking for Godparents, they go a bit batshit.
