And once done, there is no need to repeat it. Other churches may have a blessing of an infant or a dedication of the child. This is not a sacrament to them and not a serious issue.
To not tell the truth to a pastor would be to me unforgivable, and there will of course always be a pastor if you "shop around" who will not mind doing a second service if you really want one for show.
But you could have the baptism at one place and then have a re-dedication service ( looks like a baptism) at the other if you want to.
Unforgivable well that is really harsh, but then again your not the judge are you. God is the only one. Not man, not church, not any religious leader.

Some Christian churches do baptise in "Jesus name" not in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" but all of the ones that do infant baptism do it in the name of the Father , Son and Holy Spirit ( as far as I have ever studied)
And correct the Catholic Church does accept baptism from any other christian church that does baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit , with the excepton of perhaps the Mormon churches.

Of course they would be lying. A lie of omission, like a lie of commission, is still a lie.
(To) The questioner should respect the rules of each Church. The answer from the C of E vicar is the answer you are looking for.
