My best friend,christian woman, married a muslim man. I thought about choosing them as godparents of my future child, but I wasn't sure if I can do it or not, or if it exists in islam a similar thing....

There is few things which are close to baptism but not exactly baptism....when a child born...in Muslim religion, you have to sacrifice the animal on God(Allah's Name ) and you also have to shave his/her head and few more small things...its all from Sunnah( Muslims prophets ways which he taught to his people.
As far as God father or mother is not a Muslim thing how ever there should be one Imam of every family , from you have to follow the interpretation of Quran's laws and regulations.

No there is no such thing as baptism in Islam or having a god mother/father.We have our family and friends carry out those responsibilities just the same as godparents.
I have a God father so to speak who is my fathers friend and he is a prominent Christian.

firstly we don't get baptised, secondly the Azan (call to prayer) and Shahadah (declaration of faith) are whispered into her right ear. A piece of a chewed date is fed by a pious Muslim into her mouth.
