Can I change my apple id's name

I do not like my name of my apple id which is my email address now as well on icloud.


I had such drama waiting putting wrong codes and losing my proper e mail address.


Is it possible without drama?

Your Apple ID is always an email address, save for a few countries/regions where it can also be a telephone number, or a few really old Apple IDs that predate the use of email addresses.


You can change to a different email address, such as an email address from another email provider.


You can also add aliases for your email address, if you’d prefer an additional and different email address for use with the same core Apple ID email address.


An Apple ID has associated iCloud storage. There’s no separate iCloud ID.
