If you want the full name you should use the variable [R:Child] instead of
[RF:Child] which is for the first name. As for the [RP:Godparent] variable I
believe, but am not sure, that if you show both the godfather and godmother
in the tag, you should get "They" instead of "He" or "She". I do not know
enough about the contents of the tag to comment further.
