Iphone 8

If you do a name change on your current Apple ID, you won't lose any data. If you want to switch to another ID, see below the name change links.

Note the restrictions in the article.

 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support     I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.
