Of course they can.
Your birthday is [x] years after you were born.
Think of the French Revolution, when they changed the names of the days of the month. People who were born in Thermidor didn't stop having birthdays because they changed the name back.

Except for if you were born on a leap year, you’ll NEVER have your 21st birthday on the 29th. It’s not divisible by 4.
