Road block trying to set up iCloud mail account

I have never set up an iCloud mail account on my iMac but have decided to do so now. I was under the impression that I would have to use my appleid for my iCloud email address, but when I type in my appleid name I get a message that says that name is already in use and gives me other suggestions.


Do I need to choose a new name or not?

iMac Pro (2017)

You only need one Apple ID for all your devices. Just sign in with the one you already have.
