Change the name of iCloud email

I made this email before I transitioned and want to change the name of my email to my new legal name. How would I do that? Thanks!

If you only want to use the new address for emails, you can create an alias address.


iCloud - Create or change email aliases


If you want to use it as your Apple ID, you will have to create a new Apple ID. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the 2 IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
