So if it is May and your birthday is in July.
Would your upcoming birthday be your next birthday or is your next birthday the following year?

I always use ‘this’ to refer to the current week and ‘next’ to refer to the next week (with weeks beginning on a Monday)
I therefore rarely say ‘this Monday’

No, next Monday is the 30th.
Tomorrow is the 23rd.

How many people really refer to "next" Monday as the one that's tomorrow, even if it technically is the next Monday on the calendar? The one tomorrow I refer to as "this Monday", next Monday I interpret as the 30th.

To save confusion with this type of thing, I always say "Monday of next week", although it's a bit tricky with Mondays, as Sunday is technically first day of the week, so if on Saturday you say "next Monday" it could be ambiguous, so on Sat I would probably say "Monday coming up".
Further to above, if it was a Tuesday and I was referring to 9 days time, I'd say "Thursday of next week", but if it was 2 days time, I'd say "Thursday coming up" or "Thursday of this week".

Not this Monday but the next
Wrong.
I've always thought of it as the Monday in the following week. And when I was in reception (prep, foundation) at school, some teacher or peer said that the first day of the week is Sunday, not Monday. I distinctly remember being pissed off at hearing such nonsense. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. It doesn't make any sense. The traditional working week starts on the first day.
So you really refer to the coming Monday (on a Sunday) as next Monday and not tomorrow? Wtaf
Next Monday is the 30th.
Depends what day of the week you're at. Early in the week after the monday has just been I'd say next. Come weekend it's this.
I miss the petty BF shitfights, like standing up/sitting down to wipe, or the parma v parmi.

The only time "Next Monday" doesn't mean the immediate next upcoming Monday is in specific context where the upcoming Monday is used as reference.
E.g it is Sunday and you say, "Don't you have cricket training tomorrow?" Reply: "No that starts next Monday"

In any case, the "next" prefix is kind of useless.
Today is the 26th.
If I refer to the 30th, I say, "I'm taking the dog to the vet on Monday" It is clear what day that is.
If I mean the 6th of Feb, I say "I'm taking the dog to the vet Monday week"
