No, that' s not true. Greeks celebrate only one birthday as all the rest of the world. Although Greeks have another personal celebration: each of them they celebrate his personal name the day that the corresponding saint is celebrated. For example if your name is Νίκος (Nick), then except for your birthday, you also celebrate at 6 of December, because that day saint Nicolas is celebrated in Greece.

Although if your name is an ancient greek (for example Αθηνά - Atheena) and there is no saint with this name, then you don' t have a second feast, but only your birthday.
