Yes, you can change the name of the existing business but do not add the EIN. Reserve that tax id number for the future, in case you need to file as a partnership. Furthermore, if you add the EIN for the LLC, you might confuse the IRS (see my note above regarding this IRS article Election for Married Couples Unincorporated Businesses).
