How many Godparents do you have?

I'm havng a bit of tidy/clear out and came across some bits from my christening which got me thinking about godparents.

I have 2 godmothers and 1 godfather (as I'm a girl, whereas my brother has 2 godfathers and 1 godmother) My auntie and uncle are two of mine and the other is a (now) distant family friend so godparents have never been a big deal in my family.

How many do you have and are you close to them? What is the godparents role in your family?

I had 3 godmothers and a godfather, which included my aunty, my late uncle and two of my parents close friends. I am now a godmother, and enjoy taking my goddaughter out whenever I can. It somehow makes you feel closer than just a family friend. :)

None because my family don't believe in God and I wasn't christened. However we do have friends and relatives who have agreed to take my sister and me in should anything happen to my parents :)

Hmm... I only have two, one woman called Yvonne who is a friend of my Dad and some man who my mum has known since childhood. Unfortunately the last time I saw them, I was sloshed due to my friends intentionally spiking the drinks. Oh the beating I got...

I do. Just 2, a couple who have always been close friends with my parents. They have always been lovely to me despite not being family, birthday christmas presents etc and a cheque upon graduating that kind of thing. We see quite a lot of them though, dinner parties and things like that.

i had 3 but now i have 1 as one died and one disappeared. the remaining one is my mum's cousin; i see her sometimes, usually at family gatherings, but other than that there don't seem to be any extra special godparent treatments .

I don't have any, but I wish I could be a Godfather.
