Sharing Birthdate.

Do you know anyone who has the same birthday as you? When I was younger I thought knowing someone sharing the same birthdate is next to impossible. That was the young me. But now, more and more people I know has the same birthdate as me. My nephew decided to share my birthdate twenty seven years ago. Then there is one classmate at college, then there is one former colleague and we even have the same first name just spelled differently, then the best friend of my cousin, and now the girlfriend of my husband's nephew. I'm sure there are many more out there. Its just fascinating to know them and share something common with you.

@rakski That is so funny! I always told my brother that I was older than him because my birthday came first.

Yes, many of my acquaintances have the same birthday as mine. So, sometimes we celebrate together. In the unit where I once worked, there were four of us, so it was always a grand celebration.

My brother and sister are twins and I was born on their 8th birthday. Then I have a great niece born on the same day and I once had a boyfriend who shared my birthday. I'm sure there are dozens of others.

A few years ago, I wrote an article on this very subject. I was prompted by my second granddaughter being born on my youngest niece's birthday. While I had believed such things unusual, my eldest son happened to have already researched and crunched some numbers. Considering there are 8 billion people in the world and only 365/366 days in a year, there would have to be a lot of people sharing a birthday. Of course, the larger the family the higher the likelihood of sharing a birthday. I remember sharing a birthday with one person at school. I also share my birthday with a few famous people. Other than that, I hadn't really thought about it. Now I know brothers who share a birthday several years apart, my niece and granddaughter, and my mum shares a birthday with both my mother-in-law and another niece. Furthermore, the latter 3 birthdays are within a week of another 3 family birthdays!

Oh wow! Yes I know the possibilities of many people having the same birthdate. But not until I was in college when a classmate shared birthdate that I have actually realized that there are more out there. But as days goes by, I come to know many people with the same birthdate as mine

In the beginning, I was a bit uncomfortable when finding out that some of my acquaintances have their birthdays a few days earlier or later than mine. These days, I sort of feel OK with the idea. (So far, I haven't met anyone sharing my birthday yet.)
