How to change the primary email ddress shown on Icloud that has @icloud.com

I want to change the primary address of Icloud.com, that ends in icloud.com, but is not my Apple ID primary address. When I go to the apple id page, under account, these same email address are shown as an Alias (not as primary) and changing is not allowed in the dashboard.

If it was added as an alias, you can delete the Alias and add anew one with the name you want.


If its the main iCloud address, then it cannot be changed. You can add an alias with the correct and name and use that for your email communications instead.
