I'm 8 weeks along with our first child (second pregnancy) and just brought up the godparent situation to hubby. He wants his brother to be godfather, and I want mine to be. Neither one is a godparent to any child yet and we are each very close to our brothers. He also has a sister (also not a godparent to anyone), and I just have the 1 sibling (brother). I'm not opposed to his brother being our child's godparent in a symbolic way, but I wouldn't trust him as a guardian if something happened to us. I would, on the other hand, trust my brother to be guardian to our child if something happens. If we choose my brother as godfather, we would then choose his sister as godmother. If we choose his brother as godfather, we can't think of who on my side we would choose for godmother (and it would hurt my brother and parents to choose both godparents from my hubby's side). Being our first child, we would like both godparents to be close family members of ours. And neither of us have any cousins or anything we would choose ahead of one of these siblings. Now, this isn't something we are arguing about or are fighting over. We have just started the discussion and aren't sure what is "proper". Has anyone ever had 2 godfathers for their child, and no godmother? This is something we are thinking of doing. If it makes a difference, we are Jewish. In our religion, godparents are actually not necessary at all, but we would like to have them anyway. Again, this is not a problem in any way, just trying to see if anyone has been in a similar situation. We could always choose the other brother for our next child, but if we could have both brothers be godfather for baby #1, why not?
