On May 20, 1666 "After dinner my wife and Mercer by coach to Greenwich, to be gossip to Mrs. Daniel’s child."
A gossip is an old-fashioned word for godmother.
Terry Foreman gives an annotation that the boy's name is John, and Lt. Daniel's name is also John, but gives no citation.

On further exploration, I find there is a John Daniel, a Lt. from the Royal Charles, mentioned on June 4, 1666, the only time in the Diary.
However, there re 8 links saying Samuel Daniel is the Lt. married to Mrs. Daniel. So I think Terry is mistaken.
