Can I change the name used in the email address of Apple Account?

I wish to change my appleID: in order to shorten and simplify the name used with the iCloud.com address. As a simple example, I want to change "myuserID@iCloud.com", to "myID@iCloud.com". Is this possible? If so, how to do that? Thanks.

Use iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

“Note: You can’t rename your primary iCloud Mail email address later. If you change your mind, you can add an email alias instead.”


Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support - "An email alias is an email address that conceals your actual email address from a recipient. An alias can help you manage the email you receive, and monitor the sources of unwanted messages. You can both send and receive email from an email alias using Mail on iCloud.com.
