    It is unlucky to refuse to stand sponsor for a child. The child would die.

    It is unlucky to stand sponsor for two children in the same year.
    The following is a rhyme which foretells the destiny of a child born on each day.
    "Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for crosses
    Friday for losses
    Saturday no luck at all.
    But the child who is born on the Sabbath day
    Is bonny and happy and bight and gay."
    Another rhyme says.
    Monday's child is fair of face
    Tuesday's child is full of grace.
