I like Ebba, and I think it's exceptionally cute for a dog. If you aren't loving it, though, you can change it. Three months is still so young. My older dog was 6 months old when I adopted him, but I hated his name (Boner--I was not calling that out across a crowded dog park). I simply started calling him by his new name, reinforcing it with lots of treats, and he adapted by the end of the first day.

It's not strange to give your animals middle names, either. My dogs are River Ignatius and Lola Lu.
