Really people! It's one hell of a perfect name. Spelled and pronounced similarly to Ella and Emma except with the double b's.

My second daughter is called Ebba. When I initially searched for the meaning, I liked the 'Queen of riches; fortress of riches; strong' meanings that I came across. It is a beautiful name with such a strong meaning. To all the Ebbas, may the name's meaning come true for all of you!

I have just changed my name to Ebba. I chose it because I like the sound of it and that to me it sounds Old English, and simple but uncommon (in England). I have only just found this thread, and likely Chinga will not be looking here now. But I thank her anyway for her well wishes. Her message predates my decision by two years to the day.

Ebba is my middle name. It's also my mom's middle name, and it came from her mom, whose first name is Ebba. Grandma's parents were Swedish immigrants and as has been noted, this name is very popular in Sweden. I never knew anyone else that had the name besides the 3 of us so I'm glad to hear there are others. I used to find it embarrassing because no-one I knew had such a weird middle name, but I have become happier about it as I grew up, embraced my ethnic heritage, and also learned about the two St. Ebbas.

It's ok, but to me it sounds like someone with a stuffy nose saying Emma.

I like this name. I find many Germanic names harsh-sounding, but Ebba is very sweet and has a pleasant ring to it. Though Emma sounds a bit more "mature", I prefer Ebba, since it is prettier and in Ireland, it is much less common. Emma has always struck me as being dull and conventional anyway, as I know so many Emmas. Ebba is much more interesting and different. Though it doesn't ruin Ebba for me, I'm not that happy about the whole mutilated face story. :(

Despite this name's trendiness in Sweden, I find it to be very pretty and unusual.

Hmm, this is a very interesting name. I have never heard of it. This is a name that could work for either a character or a real person.
It almost looks like a German form of Emma. I can picture an old, kind woman who grins at you all the time. Or a sweet fair-haired girl. Very sweet and calm.

Ebba may have gotten some its popularity from the TV series Ebba & Didrik. Didrik never got as trendy, but it was close to unheard of before the show. Ebba on the other hand became a real trend name.

In Sweden Ebba was originally a noble name, only used by noble families. Not so anymore, and quite trendy today.
