I am researching "Halfman" family members and I found someone as a godmother…but who is this child?

Is this a record of twins? (Anna Catharina & Veronica?)

The baptisms listed for 25 February. There are two entries. But the 2nd one doesn't list parents. Very curious. (In my Halfman family in the US, there are many many multiples. So many people have twins in the family!)

Baptismal record for Veronica with godmother Veronica Halfman & Hubert Schneider (both from Honerbach)..png

This is from Kelberg (Honerbach) in 1757.

    Yes, Anna Catharina and Veronica are twins. Here is the translation:

    On 25th February was baptized Anna Catharina, legitimate daughter of Johannes Peter and Elisabetha Schmitz(?) in Honerbach. Sponsors Anna Catharina Pesch(?) and Johannes Groos, both from Honerbach.
    On the same day was baptized Veronica, legitimate daughter of the same parents. Sponsors Veronica Halfman and Hubertus Schein, all from Honerbach.
