Well, who even cares about character birthdays? I mean, they don't make any difference to the overall story.

Till date, and I have read all SBS for all volumes till now, no background for any character has been chosen by the fans. All histories are revealed in-story. As I did say, while Oda jokes around 75-80% of the time, he does give you interesting and useful tidbits of information. It is quite reliable. Well, whatever Oda says is the divine law in One Piece Wiki, anyway, so it is automatically reliable there. And Nakaba's words are the divine law here.
