Family History Beginners Board / Odd name pattern on Baptism records - Liverpool 1829

Hi
I'm looking at Baptisms in St Peters, Liverpool in the year 1829.
Theres an Elizabeth Warton - Parents Isaac & Elizabeth Freeman
John Barlow - Parents John & Mary Clare
John Davies - Parents John & Margaret Brereton
Thomas Blakey - Parents John & Mary Vernon
And many others with different last names to the parents on the same page. I've never seen this before.
I wouldn't have thought so many of these are middle names. Were these children adopted or fostered or where the named 'parents' guardians or even god parents.
Looking forward to hearing some insight.
Thanks
Beverley
