May be if my parents had been more strict, I would have not made so many of the mistakes I have made in life, but its all good.

I think he’ll make a terrific godfather! Nicole is definitely got more of the A-list actors in her corner than Tom does. Who was Suri’s godfather – David Miscaviage? (shiver)

i imagine the whole godfather thing is probably a moot point. the godmother is probably nicole’s sister or a close friend, who if anyone was going to have to step in and raise the little aussie tyke, it would be her. george will probably send the kid cool presents for his birthday and that’ll be it.

and for all his womanizing ways, geo does seem a bit of a family man. proud of his papa, proud of his aunt rosemary. and he appears to be a good friend to all his buds.

Godparents can be strictly a ceremonial religious role, but (at least in the US) can also be legal guardians. It’s especially common in cases like that of myself and my wife, where we have few siblings and our parents are already in their mid-fifties and not in a place to raise a child that’s only 2 years old.

Granted, you have to have it in your will if you actually want them to get your children, but it’s not that odd these days for 2 families to sort of ‘cover each others backs.’ If something happens to us, they get our children, and vice-versa.

The ironic part is that the only people who don’t recognize them as being Godparents is our church, as we’re Catholic and they’re Lutheran. Go figure.

I do like Nicole and I wish her the best. This story is from star so am not believing it. George cooled his relationship with Brad Pitt because he can’t get along with Jolie and he can’t stand their kids. But he seems to have fun with Mad on the set of Oceans 13.

I’m sure it depends on different influences be they cultural or religious. Where I’m from, godparents are the ones written in your will to raise you children should you die. In the Catholic faith particularly in the hispanic community, they have duties at the baptism and go to classes beforehand. Often times the godparents are the child’s aunt and uncle.

More often than not, though, godparents are friends of the parents who are looked upon as an uncle or aunt. By the time the kid is 5, the parents don’t even know where these people life and by the time the kid is 20, he wasn’t even aware he had godparents.

But I tell you what, there was holy hell raised in my family when my aunt named some stranger as her kid’s godparent when my cousin has two aunts, and uncle and grandparents who could raise him if something happened to them.
