Hello kikifroggy,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to add email aliases for your iCloud email account. To do this, you have to set this up from the iCloud.com website, and then you will be able to use the email alias on your iPhone or iPad, and here is more info:

Create an email alias

Click the Action pop-up menu in the sidebar, then choose Preferences.

Click Accounts.

Click “Add an alias.”

Provide the requested information:

Alias: The text you provide becomes the email address (alias@icloud.com). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters.

Full Name: The name you provide appears in the From field of the messages you send.

Label: iCloud Mail uses the label to categorize messages sent to the alias.

Label Color: Messages sent to the alias appear in your Inbox with the colored label that you specify. Alias labels appear only in Mail on iCloud.com.

Click OK, then click Done.

iCloud: Create an email alias in iCloud Mail

Cheers!
