Why wouldn't Jim and Pam pick someone they know better?

Redditor u/the_saas_guy kicked off a thread with a picture of the moment Michael finds out who Cece's real godparents will be, along with the caption, "It's weird that Jim and Pam picked this random couple they barely know as Cece's godparents." While we're sure this person would agree Michael shouldn't have been the godfather (for obvious reasons), it still doesn't explain why these two people get the distinction. After all, we've never met them before, and even though they seem nice enough, they're complete strangers as far as we're concerned.

One user, u/bubbahubbado, points out how the decision is even more bizarre: "It's weird they seemingly chose a couple they just met in mommy and me class- meaning they've known them for very little time." It's possible they hit it off well, but you would still assume they would pick people they've known longer, who offer more stability. Everyone seems to be in agreement that it shouldn't have been someone at Dunder Mifflin, and if anything, it's healthy to show how Jim and Pam have lives outside of their work.

One person wrote, "I hate it when workplace sitcoms pretend that the only people they would know are the people they work with." It wouldn't make sense to choose a Dunder Mifflin employee as it's entirely possible Jim and Pam won't stay in contact with those people once they move on with their lives. Seth and his wife seem like entirely ordinary, trustworthy people who have probably never hosted an awkward dinner party.
