Sharing Birthdays...  email this discussion to a friend?

Hello Friends!

Do you share your birthday with someone famous or with a special holiday? If so, who is it or what holiday? Do you like knowing that you share your birthday in this way--or is it a problem because you feel that your birthday doesn't get the attention it deserves?

Personally, I like knowing that I share my birthday with the singer, Carly Simon and the author, George Orwell, and the famous American soldier, George Armstrong Custer.thumbup

It's also the same day as George Michael's birthday, but we won't go there...lol

But, now--my birthday is also going to be known as the day Michael Jackson died. Nothing I can do about that, but it doesn't make me happy. cry

Nobody and nothing too very interesting that I can think of until this year. Sadly, it's the day that the Haiti earthquake hit...

Oh, that's right! I didn't even think of that--or of including disasters in my post! sadthumbdown

Hi Nyhollyjean,

I am not sure about famous people (I have never really bothered to check, and any information I should have remembered after reading up randomly has never stuck in my head) but I was part of a website once which I started, and out of the 125 active members, there were at least 3 that had the same birthday as me. It actually drove me mad because I wanted my day to be special and it wasn't with so many others having the same one sad.

That said I guess it shows that there are probably also a veritable mountain of famous people that share my birthday too, though it is unlikely I like most of them lol.

All the best,
Dranz thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Dranz!

That's an interesting answer, I think! If you believe in astrology at all, maybe that explains why 4 people with the same birthdate were all attracted to the same website! lol Of course, since you started the website--I think you deserve extra special recognition for that, anyway! thumbup

I also imagine since there are only 365 days in a year, that we all share our birthdays with lots of other people--some famous, some not. I think it's funny that you don't think you'd like any famous people who might share your birthday--is it because they are famous, or because they also have the same birthday?rolleyes

Thanks for an interesting response!

hi nyhollyjean My son and Queen Elizabeth were born on the same date whih is sort of novel. June fifth of this year my son will be 51 so have to think of something nice for a birthday present for him and not too expensive.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi Hatley! Oh, so does your son have a "regal" air about him? lol Their birthdays aren't too far away are they?! Time sneaks up on us!
I've seen you mention elsewhere that he likes certain kinds of music--maybe a dvd of his favorite kind would do--or a gift card for it? Just trying to be helpful.

I hope you both enjoy his birthday--as no one's birthday is as important to celebrate with than the person who gave birth to you--otherwise known as "Mom"!cheering

hi Holly,

Naah i don't think that anybody else shares my birthday. I think maybe, just maybe Sunil Gavaskar a famous cricketer also has the same Birthday as mine but I am not sure of that even.

I get all my due attention and wishes on my birthday I guess as everybody would be focussed on me, hehehehe.lol

So your birthday is just round the corner, less than a month now. What kind of cake you are making this time?


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi bodhi! We've had some good chats today, haven't we?! happy

I imagine that your birthday would be special my friend--whatever day it is, simply because it's yours!!thumbup

But, due to the sheer fact that there are so many people in the world, and only 365 days in the calender, then I'm also going to assume that there are probably many people who share your day. Sorry to disappoint you! :-D

But, since you don't know them and they probably don't know you--you will get the attention you deserve!

Yes, my birthday is not that far away--they come much faster at my age. LOL But, lucky for me--I don't have to make my own cake! My grandchildren love to bake cakes for me. Last year they made me a pink cake with very dark blue icing. It turned everyone's tongues and lips blue who ate it. This turned out to be a great way to tell who was sneaking pieces of my cake later in the week! w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. bodhisatya (844)   ranked 764 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hmmmm Pink and dark blue, Wow, Yummy! Do let us know whats would be on menu this time around.happy

we're opposites then. i share michael jackson's birthday. but in real life, i haven't met someone who was born on the same day as me. the nearest is a day before or after. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi binggaling!

Ah, so I know when your birthday is!thumbup

But, come to think of it--I don't know anyone else with that birthday either! Perhaps that just proves how unique you and Michael Jackson are.lol

Thanks for contributing to the discussion! happy

thanks for saying 'unique' instead of 'unusual' if you know what i mean. lol

I think I've already shared this info about my birthday here in myLot...
The person that I share my birthday with is not famous, but certainly very special. I share it with my son! The only drawback about celebrating our birthday is that mine just comes as an afterthought. People would greet and buy him the presents, and sometimes they realize that it is my birthday too.
I understand that he is young, so he gets the party, the cake, the games, etc. But I'm not complaining. It is still a happy day for me! have a nice day


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi bounce!! I'm happy to see you here--you've been missed! lol

I must have missed the discussion about you and your son having the same birthday. That's a pretty unique person to share your birthday with. But, I can empathize with the fact that you are placed in the background now. I'm not sure why people do that, even as adults, we still like to have our birthdays acknowledged. sad

The only consoling thing I can say is this--as boys become young men, many of them have a tendency to "forget" their family members birthdays. Your son will never have that excuse. wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. bounce58 (8377)   ranked 6 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Thanks Holly.
One thing I'm happy about is that there is always cake on my birthday. Even though the name on the cake is not mine.
Sometimes I even sneak blowing the candles myself...whistle

That's really neat that you share the same b-day as Carly Simon.

Well, Sam Cooke, Linda Blair, Sir Francis Bacon, and Diane Lane have the same birthday as me. They're pretty much the only people I've heard of on my birthday's "famous" list. My birthday seems more of a negative date, kinda... :(

Heath Ledger died on my birthday
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died on my birthday
'94: 5.5 earthquake strikes Sumatra
Irving B Kahn, inventor of the teleprompter died on my birthday
Fannie Thomas, at 113 died on my birthday
Judy Garland died on my birthday
'87: Due to blizzard, 334 people attend Devils-Flame NHL game. New Jersey wins 7-5...
'85: cold wave destroys 90 percent of Florida's crops
Lyndon B. Johnson died on my birthday
1982: 75 percent of North America is covered with snow
Charles Darwin takes his Bachelors of Art exam. Bleh...exam day...
Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, was beheaded on my birthday

My birthday needs some happier, more exciting events. Somebody invent something really awesome on my birthday or find cure for cancer or better yet, "just happen" to create world peace on Jan 22nd, m'kay. thanks. :D




myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Sheesh, Steph--I'm surprised that you were born on that date at all--looks like just about everyone else on your list used that day to die!

Love Sam Cooke, Diane Lane and Sir Francis Bacon contributed a lot to our world, but it caught my attention that you have the same birthday as Linda Blair!! Too bad we don't have a "spinning head" emoticon--so, I'll just use these: [em]fear[/efeeling sickspooked

I'll do my best to come up with some super-fantastic event or invention to add to your list. thumbup

Thanks for stopping by!! xo

My birthday is October 23rd and I know I share my birthday with the late British actress Diana Dors, who I admire a lot. My birthday seems to be quite rare for people being born on it. I have rarely met anyone with the same birthday as me. I do like sharing my birthday with people I admire.


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi karen! Ah, so now I know why you and I get along so well--my daughter's birthday is the day after yours! lol She always complains that the only famous thing that happened on her birthday is that the United Nations was founded then. :-) She was supposed to have been born on Halloween however.

But, I can't say I know anyone with your birthdate either. October people are great though! happythumbup

Speaking of daughters--how is yours doing?


myLot reputation of 97/100. karen1969 (1205)   ranked 1,302 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Yes, October birthdays = wonderful people!! happy

All my 3 daughters are causing me stress at the moment for different reasons. The middle one has her court appearance next week. fear


myLot reputation of 99/100. nyhollyjean (2254)   ranked 5 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Sorry to hear that karen! sad I have one of each and I do believe the saying that boys are harder to raise when they're little, and girls are harder to raise when they're older. I'll be thinking of you! hugs


myLot reputation of 97/100. karen1969 (1205)   ranked 1,302 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Yes, I think that's true. My son was a little monster until he was about 11. Now he's 18 and the easiest of my kids! We don't get any of the dramas with him that we get with the girls.
