Well, it happens to slightly less than 1/365th of the
population[1], so it is rather unusual. Of course it's no more
unusal that being born on June 19th or November 3rd or any
other date you choose...
[1] Assuming birth dates are uniformly distributed. Which the
probably aren't in countries where a significant portion of
the population schedules births to fit the hospital/doctors
schedule.
