My dad’s birthday is October 5th, which I’ve heard is one of the most popular birthdays… His parents had a nice New Year’s Eve, 1953. ---

Hmm, my brother and a very good friend of mine were both born on November 14th. I never really thought about the timing before. However, Prince Charles was also born on November 14th, and I can’t picture Liz and Phil getting all squelchy about Valentine’s Day. ---

My neice was born November 14th, but she wasn’t due until later that month. Of course, knowing my brother and sister-in-law, every day in February was a nice day. 😉 ---

I was born on Nov. 11; seven months after my parent’s marriage. My mom swears I wasn’t due and was born early. ---

Well, I was born on November 9th, five months to the day after my parents’ wedding. They tried to convince me I was 4 months premature; however, considering that I was born in the early 60s, that seems quite unlikely (not to mention that I weighed almost 10 pounds). ---

Never thought about the timing before, dang that’s just plain funny. It means my Mom was boinking someone else’s husband on Valentines Day ! I wonder if my Mom’s husband was boinking someone else’s wife. ---

I met someone once who told me she was conceived between the wedding and reception of her parents wedding day. Musta been some car ride to the hall. ---

My maternal grandfather, and his youngest son were both born November 14th–45 years apart. My birthday is November 5th, 10 days or so short of being 9 months from Valentine’s Day. However, my father’s birthday is February 4th, almost 9 months to the day, or evening before my birth. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/born-on-or-about-november-14th/154935.md?page=2)
