I got to wondering what date has the most famous celebrities born and I found this article which says that the most common birth date in general is Sept 9th.

According to birth data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Social Security Administration,
The most common birthday is Sept. 9. In second and third place are Sept. 19 and 12.

People get romantic most around the holidays.

We're officially in the most common birth month. What about the most common birthday?
