Creating an Additional iCloud eMail Account:

You Can't. You can only have one iCloud eMail account. It cannot even be modified once it is created. So, know to create one that you will never forget having. As an alternative, you can create an alias. Go Here: Add and Manage eMail Aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
