From what I understand, and what my family has always done:
A son has two Godfathers and a Godmother
A daughter has two Godmothers and a Godfather
I guess you can have more than that though; it's your child and the discretion is yours. If I was in your shoes,I would just have three Godfathers (i.e. the three brothers).

a new child might desire to have 2 Godparents - a godmother and godfather. The godparents might desire to be training Catholics. they're to be place fashions for the new child and assist you in elevating your new child contained in the Catholic faith. conversing of elevating a new child contained in the catholic faith, i assume by using using the observe "companion", that the guy you reside with isn't your husband. have you ever seen what you're coaching your new child with regard to the sacrament of Matrimony by using living with a guy who isn't your husband? Having your new child baptized is quite meaningless in case you're unlikely to show him with regard to the Catholic faith by using the way you reside. If baptism is significant to you, then Matrimony must additionally be as significant on your life.

generally speaking it is usually two men and one woman for a boy...but one of my sons has two men and two women(two couples) and my other has three godmothers and one godfather...just ask the vicar if it would be ok, he probably wont have a problem with it.

As whoever is officiating at your ceremony, but I think you can have as many as your like. If you dont ask, you dont get. Make that call.
