Yes, if you are referring to the secular "legal" ages of 18 and/or 21 years old. What determines your readiness to assume the role of God Parent depends on your own baptism, spiritual maturity, and faith commitment.
Typically, a godparent is expected to be an adult who can fulfill the responsibilities associated with the role, such as providing guidance and support in the child's spiritual upbringing. Being underage may impact your ability to fully take on these responsibilities. It's best to discuss this with the child's parents and the church to see if they have any flexibility in the matter.
Yes, "Godparent" is capitalized when it refers to a specific role within a religious context.
In Christianity, the term for a godparent is typically "godparent" in English, "padrino" or "madrina" in Spanish, and "parrain" or "marraine" in French. In other cultures and religions, terms like "koumbaros" in Greek Orthodox, "nanay" or "tatay" in Filipino, and "sahib" or "saheba" in Islam may be used to refer to a godparent.
The role of a godparent traditionally involves providing religious guidance and support in the child's spiritual upbringing. Since atheists do not believe in a higher power or deity, they may not align with the expectations typically associated with being a godparent. It is important for the parents and the atheist godparent to have open communication about their beliefs and expectations for the child's upbringing.

"Pangukol" is a Filipino word that means a person who acts as a godparent or sponsor during a baptism or confirmation ceremony in the Catholic faith. This role involves providing spiritual guidance and support to the individual being baptized or confirmed.
The word godparent isn't a proper noun therefore it shouldn't be capitalized.
You have to have at least one child in school. Then, you go to the babies page that you want to be the godparent of. If they don't already have a godparent, there is a button that says "Become godparent". Click it. A message will be sent to the owner of the baby, if they confirm it you have a godparent! Send them gifts! Add me! Charcharkazoo
You must send a baby to school before you can be a godparent.
Where "godparent" is recognized by a faith community, check with your local pastor. In civil society, the choice of a godparent is entirely up to the parents.
Not neccessarily, if the two are named jointly as godparents this may be the case, however if only one is named godparent, then the other does not automaticly "inherit" the title of godparent.
"godparent" and "sponsor" mean the same. Meaning they are the representatives of the child.
Yes, but the other Godparent must be a Catholic.
Yes, a pope can be a Godparent but would probably only do so for a family member.
Well first of all, you can't become a godparent until one of your babies is in school. After one of them is in school you simply go to the child you want to be your godchild, and over to the right it will say "This baby has no godparent, be this babys godparent!!" Hope this helps!! :)
Yes. Anyone can be a godparent. It's solely based on the decision of the parents.
No, once a Godparent, always a Godparent in the Catholic Church.
