sister and brother born on same day...?

Question

I saw similar questions on here, but my Brother and I were born on the same day, at the exact same time, and exactly one year apart!! Isn't that weird?? I am sure the odds of all of that coinciding exactly have to be astronomical!! His first birthday present was me!!! Someone told me once that there was a name for this- some kind of twins, but I don't rememeber what it was. any Idea?

Answer 1

be optimestic, in the east it is fortunate to have same dates of events. i think you must be the most wonderful present he has ever had

Answer 2

my daughter and I were born 21 years 6 months apart to the minute, in the same hospital.

it's crazy the coincidences that occur when you look at birthdays and times...

the term you are looking for is irish twins.

Irish twins is a slang term that refers to siblings born 9 to 12 months apart - usually in the same calendar year, or who are in the same class in school. It references a perception about families of Irish Catholics who may not use birth control (and thus may have children in quicker succession), but it is often used endearingly by the families of the "twins" themselves.

Answer 3

apparently, it occurs fairly lots. my daughter and 2 neices are all born an similar day, with 3 and 10 years large difference, 2 of my grandsons are precisely a three hundred and sixty 5 days aside. I actually have a pal who grow to be born on her father's thirtieth birthday

Answer 4

well my sister and i were born on the same day,a minute different same year..haha i think thats the only kind of twin there is.i think your situation is more of a coincidence.

Answer 5
