Is it possible to change the name of my Apple ID?

Hi, I would like to know if it<s possible to change the name of my apple ID. When I was 10, I had decide to put for ID a stupid tv show for kid without thinking. Now that I'm way older (18) I would like to change the name of my Apple ID without having to create a new one. When I go to the edit on my account, the "change your Apple ID doesn't appear. So I don't know how to change the name of my Apple ID.

And, here is What to do after you change your Apple ID or 

Password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071  (supplementary to what the fist link says)

 

Post back if you have questions about what you can do if your Apple ID (1) is a third-party apple ID or (2) ends in icloud.com, me.com, or mac.com. 


And, FYI see iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201771

Your AppleID is the email you use to login with. It is not the same as the user ID shown here in the forums. You can change the primary email address used with your AppleID -> see Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


If you’re trying to change your Apple user forum ID (Davidbayard2002) post back and I can forward your request to the moderators.
