Mine is more common than I thought.

[HereSince1628]

1. Very common...it's shared with Tipper Gore, Bill Clinton and

Orville Wright.

I blame it on holiday spirit, and by that I mean 80 proof spirits.

[IcyPeas]

2. a lot of people are having sex in January it seems

New Year's Eve sex?

[peace13]

6. And Christmas and Thanksgiving so it seems!

Gotta keep warm somehow!

[elleng]

3. Very uncommon, but I got Rosa Parks!!!

and Betty Friedan!

[Glorfindel]

9. And my mother, who was brilliant, beautiful, and a GREAT Democrat!

[elleng]

14. GREAT!

[REP]

42. And my brother!

[elleng]

49. Sounds like a party!!!

[Lars39]

4. Well, that explains some of the lines I find myself having to wade thru at the DMV.

[notadmblnd]

5. People sure do seem to have a lot of sex during the winter months

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. But of course!

It's a great way to get warm, and to stop thinking about how cold it is outside!

[RZM]

11. Actually it's fall

People born in July, August, and September were conceived in October, November, and December. Less than 1/3 of December falls during winter. Conceptions seem to taper off in the coldest months of January and February.

It seems that the fall is the mating season, which is something I've long suspected, actually. If I'm not mistaken there are a fair amount of other mammals that do the same thing.

20. For my mother, it was spring.

she had 4 girls. One in Jan (29), 2 in Feb (13 and 23rd) and one in March (5).

[Glorfindel]

8. Fairly common...shared with R. Crumb, Cameron Diaz, Ted Williams, and Mary Shelley

also, alas, with Orly Taitz

[Behind the Aegis]

10. Mine is tomorrow and doesn't seem to be all that common...cool!

[leftynyc]

13. Wishing you a wonderful birthday

and many, many more.

[Behind the Aegis]

19. Thank ya kindly!

[Yavin4]

15. Do You Know Why Sept Has the More Common Birthdays?

It's fucking cold as hell in January, and sex is the best way to stay warm.

[onehandle]

16. Very. Winter makes a lot of babies just before Fall.

Gotta stay warm somehow.

[Luminous Animal]

17. Mine is near the bottom of common. Shared with Chiang Kai-Shek

I've met very few people with my birthday.

[longship]

18. Common? Mine happens 'bout once a year... so far

63 and still only one a year.

[Lucy Goosey]

21. I have a very uncommon birthday (4th) in what appears to be a very common birth month (July)

Hm, odd.
I wonder why July 4th is so uncommon compared to most of the rest of July and August.

[elleng]

50. Dunno, but daughter expected July 4 was born June 27!

[belcffub]

22. my theory....

my theory on this has always been the 9 months before september its cold out... makes sense it is the most common birthday

to be born in April your folks got busy in hot and sweaty July/August... they are probably freaks...

I bet the prevalence of AC is shifting this...

[KamaAina]

23. Quite common, and shared with Neil Armstrong

also, Loni Anderson.

[lastlib]

24. But I've never encountered anyone who shared my birthday

September 27th. Anybody in DUland?

[Blue_Tires]

36. I had a cousin with that one

another cousin on the 18th, and my father was on the 2nd

[RT Atlanta]

25. Lotsa shagging goin' on in December....

Look at how common those September birthdays are.

Yeah baby!

[GoCubsGo]

26. An uncommon day in the least common month.

Not much sex going on in late April-early May, it appears.

[FirstLight]

27. it all makes sense now

Jan 1st... not a lot of competition for that title... add to it that I was born 15 seconds after midnight, and I guess I have a reason for my inflated sense of self-importance

[TBF]

28. I share mine with Roger Federer -

and that makes me very, very happy.

[rgbecker]

29. Looks like people are steering clear of the 13th!

[Blue_Tires]

30. My birthday is September 11

So I felt honored that George W. Bush felt compelled to evoke my birthday in so many of his speeches

[rurallib]

31. 9 months after Christmas Eve - guess what my mother got for Christmas

the year before?
Oddly, I notice this sees to be a quite common birthdate.
9/24

[WillyT]

44. Or New Years Eve...

[thelordofhell]

32. I used to like talking about celebrities with the same birthday as mine

Then Justin Bieber got popular

[NV Whino]

33. I'm kind of medium uncommon.

[Raine]

34. Pretty common which doesn't suprise me because I know several people who have the same birthdate

as me.

[PCIntern]

35. I was born on my father's birthday...

several kids told me that it couldn't be when I was really young...that that was HIS birthday.

[socialist_n_TN]

37. Not real common..........

and shared with Leon Trotsky and Billy Graham. What an odd couple.

Since my brother was born same month in a different year, I'm guessing Mom and Dad liked Valentine's Day.

[Odin2005]

38. April 28 birthdays are apparently uncommon.

I share mine with Saddam and James Madison.

[HarveyDarkey]

39. Pretty common

Barack Obama, Jeff Gordon, Louis Armstrong, Queen Elizabeth, my favorite Helen Thomas and several other notables. I must be the black sheep of my birth date.

[Dawson Leery]

40. February 30th birthdays are not common at all!

[krispos42]

41. So is my son's...

...of course, sharing it with his aunt and grandfather (mom's side) kinda told me that...

[REP]

43. David Sedaris and I share something besides smoking: same birthday as Phil Spector

[chickypea]

45. Wolfgana Amadeus Mozart

Mozart is exactly 200 years older than I am. I feel like I keep good company.

[BlueJazz]

46. Mine's the 3rd rarest

[TheKentuckian]

47. Reasonably common...shared with the likes of V. Putin, Yo-Yo Ma, John Mellencamp, Neils Bohr, Elijah

Mohammad, Simon Crowell, and Desmond Tutu.

I guess October 7th is not shrinking violet day.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

48. ... :-)
