4-6 BC - it was miscalculated at some stage I think. Haven't googled yet though.

Maybe IceMobster is onto something. That is, since we all appear to have different answers, maybe be should divide up into the Church of Storyteller, the Church of Rick, the Church of Nicki, the Church of Philip and the Church of Kurieuo.
I lean towards 1 BC for Jesus' human birth.
I lean towards 1 BC for Jesus' human birth.
Both Luke and Matthew mention Jesus’ birth as occurring during Herod’s reign (Luke 1:5; Matthew 2:1). Josephus relates Herod’s death to a lunar eclipse. This is generally regarded as a reference to a lunar eclipse in 4 B.C. Therefore it is often said that Jesus was born in 4 B.C.
But physics professor John A. Cramer, in a letter to BAR, has pointed out that there was another lunar eclipse visible in Judea—in fact, two—in 1 B.C., which would place Herod’s death—and Jesus’ birth—at the turn of the era. Below, read letters published in the Q&C section of BAR debating the dates of Herod’s death, Jesus’ birth and to which lunar eclipse Josephus was referring.

As for the OP, I'd say 7-5 BC, a few years before the death of Herod the Great.

Yes, you should head up your own too, 7-5BCers.
