Interesting "How Common Is YOUR Birthday"?

Most Popular Dates of Birth.  Turns out the most popular birthdays are all in September.  And the least common birthdays are all in January.  Go figure.  And the Most Common Birthdate of all is September 16th!  Least common... December 25th:
While July, August and September are very popular months for birthdays, it is somewhat notable that July 4, Independence Day, appears to be an obvious uncommon birthday in the U.S.

Most common: September 16 is the most popular birthday, and December 25 and February 29 are least popular
It is possible that with a reasonably high proportion of births being induced in the U.S. (a number which rose from 10per cent before 1990, to 22per cent from 1990-2006), obstetricians and expectant mothers may choose to schedule a birthday outside of this holiday.
The graph, which shows every day of the year, from January 1 to December 31, along with a ranking based on how many babies were born in the U.S. on that date, was made from data taken between 1973 and 1999.
