Why does an IVF baby need a special name presenting his conception state? I'd be mortified to grow up knowing I was conceived in a lab.

I have a post-IVF Tehila who would have been named Tehila whether she was conceived on an IVF cycle or “regular” medicated cycle. Nobody has to know.

The name doesn't mean I was conceived in a lab. It's obvious that the parents waited for the child, so the name is thanking Hashem for giving them a son. It happens to be it was IVF that brought about the child, but the name doesn't present his conception state. It presents the fact that the parents are grateful to have this child after waiting for some time.

Exactly. And if naming a child in a way that shows appreciation is good enough for Rochel ("Hashem has gathered in my shame" and Chana ("I requested him from Hashem") then it's good enough for me.

All of these names suggested are normal names.
My brothers nechemia, yehoshua, and Yehuda weren't grown in any labs.

Why is boy after IVF given diff name than natural? I would do after grandfather/ancestor/Rebbe first. Maybe would add on Baruch. I had a few children thru IVF and didn't consider giving diff name bec of it.

And if we had ancestors or Rebbes to name after, we would. I'm just looking for ideas. You don't have to comment if you don't agree.

I am just trying to understand why you mentioned a name for specifically IVF.
I'm apologizing if you felt slighted ch"v.Totally unintentional.

I was trying to be brief. I struggle with typing on a smartphone (and now I'm having to type it all out anyway lol). I thought of saying "after many years of infertility" or "after an infertility diagnosis so severe that we were given basically no chance of success" but decided that "after IVF" explained the situation well enough. Apparently I was wrong.
