I would avoid using an iCloud email address as your Apple ID because should there be problems logging into your account you run the risk of not being able to read the recovery emails from Apple required to fix the problem. If you still wish to, read the document: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - https://support.apple.com/HT201356 - rescue email
