Okay. I give up. It was a flighty idea based on incomplete information. Jansy, I meant "good guys" to include "good gals". Anyway, if we stick with the theory, then Gradus is not a bad guy which leads to some interesting conjectures, but I've overdone the conjecture bit. I enjoyed the VN Birthday celebration. Do we have to wait a whole year to do it again?

We also know Gradus's (a Bad Guy) and
Dolly's (a Good Girl). I suspect Quilty's, and Pnin's
V.V. are 4/23 or a variation of it.

Did you simply mean "the guys"
and not the gals?

Birthday Wish
A noble goal to compile such a list.
It did seem to me with respect to your query "I have been
wondering...why we do not know Humbert's birthday (in
contrast to Fyodor G-Ch's, his father's, Sebastian Knight's,
Pnin's, and John Shade & co's) that the list of
characters for whom we know birthdays is a list of good
guys, exclusively.
