Q: How to change the user name of @icloud.com?

When Apple generated the icould account, it just transfered the @me.com directly. Now i want to change the name of my iCloud account, the name before @icloud.com. How could I do that?

 

Thank you all very much in advance.

    Once created, the @icloud.com address cannot be changed.  However, you can create an alias @icloud.com address with a different name to use that will receive email in your current iCloud account.  This article explains how to create an email alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Note: once created, an email alias cannot be used to create a new iCloud account, be moved to another account or reactivated if you ever delete it.
