Oh I know someone who this happened to!

He was born bein hashmashos erev shabbos., at the exact moment when it was not clear if it was Friday or Shabbos. So he couldn't have it on the 8th day, shabbos. The 9th day was sukkos. This was in Chul so he couldn't have it second day YT either. He ended up having it first day chol hamoed sukkos, on the 11th day.

EtA. Fascinating postscript. The 11th day happened to have been the yahrtzeit of the grandfather they planned to name for.

Yup. Actually the Gemara talks about this. When Rosh Hashanah is on Thursday/Friday. 2days RH is in the Gemara). So a baby born a week earlier bain hashmashos Wednesday evening has the bris on Sunday at 11 days old and it's called bzmano.
