Well, since I'm French, when I watched the Godfather, the title was a litteral translation. For us, "Parrain" (or "marraine" for a woman) is etymologically closer to "parent" or "mère". They are secondary parents. Which, for me, suits to what I think of Trixie here. While in English, "Godfather" litterally means "man who sponsors one at baptism and guarantees the child's religious education." I suppose from what you say the word "godfather" has lost some of its religious meaning with time, but I can't help but feel it like I should call Trixie with a different title. I think there's possibility to lose completly the religious origin of the word, and use a horse pun instead.

I mean, when you hear about the movie The Godfather or about the Fairy Godmother, is religion the first thing that pops into your head?
