Naming ceremony vs christening

DIYFather.com's Scott alternative to a religious christening:

My wife recently after a couple of wines told me that because I wasn’t particularly religious and that she was, that we should have a naming ceremony, instead of a christening.
Now to be honest I’m not fussed on the whole thing but what i was interested in was the whole equivalent to godparents – not really sure what they are called. This means should daddy be a lazy good for nothing drunk with no more future prospects then hopefully one of the “God Parent” equivalents will step in and help them out with the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to! Hmmm sounds great to me hopefully they won’t read this and will be none the wiser!
Now I don’t know many people who have had a “naming ceremony” in fact besides us to be, NONE! I have been to a christening before but that is it really.
The naming ceremony is done by a Justice of the Peace (I gather) where as a christening is done with a priest (once again I gather??)
Well we are looking to do one next year and hopefully this will keep her happy with the ceremony and myself with the non-religious sector.
If you have had one or been to one please do let me know

Thanks Scott
