A few topics have been made on the Blizzard forum including two interesting ones regarding the name changes as well as the chat rooms.
Here is what the community manager, Nethaera said about the name changes:
We are currently not allowing name changes at this point in time. We would like to caution everyone to choose their name carefully.
He also added in another forum post:
We answered a lot of questions in a recent Real ID FAQ and here is the link and the information on character names and the identifier code:

Q: What’s a StarCraft II "character code"?
A: When you first log in to StarCraft II, you’re prompted to choose a single character name. This is the only name you’ll use on Battle.net, and it’s tied to your StarCraft II license. In order to allow players to select any name they wish regardless of whether another player is already using the same name, we then generate and assign a three-digit character code that uniquely identifies the player. When posting on the forums of the new StarCraft II community site, players will be posting using their StarCraft II character name and character code.
He also made a statement about chat rooms:
Chat channels are something that will be added in a patch sometime after the initial release. The system will be based around groups, where you will be able to join public channels that are based around your interests. Also the system will include private chat channels (in plans for release in the first few months after the release), where you will be able to connect with your friends.
We hope to have some updates in the near future and I will do my best to keep you updated.
