All three of mine have four... My sister and BIL, asked because they will most likely have guardianship if something happens to me and DH. A good friend from church, who prays for them and will be the ones to take them to church should something happen to us. Then they have my DH's brother, asked to be "fair" to DH's side of the family I didn't see the need for BIL but for the sake of family harmony we included him.

The friend from church - DD has my friend, then our two DSs have her hubby. We are close with the couple, both equally, and decided it would be nice to go with gender so that our kids have someone else to turn to if mum and dad aren't listening. Or something. So our DSs have three godfathers They are lucky I reckon!
