How rare is your birthday, anyway?

With only so many days in the year, you’d think that each day would have about the same number of birthdays, right? After all, people are born every day! Well, think again. Turns out, some birthdays are more common than others. Let’s take a look:

Most common birthdays in the US:
1. September 9
2. September 19
3. September 12
4. September 17
5. September 10

And the rarest:
1. December 25
2. January 1
3. December 24
4. July 4
5. January 2

Pretty weird, right? Why is everyone born in September? Well, think about it. What comes 9 months before September? Bingo! The holidays, like Christmas and New Year's, a.k.a. the most romantic time of year. Researchers say that the highest number of new little humans are conceived during this period, since it’s when people are getting together in a good mood.

And what about the other end of the spectrum, those rarest birthdays? What’s all that about? Is there some cursed day 9 months before the holidays where people refuse to conceive? Actually, sort of! Turns out that when many people shoot for a baby, they purposefully avoid doing it when the baby would be born during the holidays, so that the baby’s birthday isn’t crowded out by other occasions. Interesting!
