I was given the honour of being made the "guardian" of my best friend's DD at her naming ceremony when she was a baby. If it were a religious ceremony she would be my god daughter. It wasn't a religious ceremony so she is my........????

We use "fairy godmother" and "fairy godson/goddaughter". Our friends use "earth mother" etc.

I guess she is your special niece and you are her guardian auntie.

And I was hoping there would be term for the reciprocal relationship. I take it seriously, I try to make our relationship more special than just any "friend's daughter" but oh well.

Do they expect you to be her guardian if something happened to the parents? When she's little, I don't see anything wrong with being the fairy godmother.
