US will be one big realm as far as we know.
Yes, only letters.
No foreign letter (å ä ö etc)
No apostrophes (é ' ñ etc)
No symbols ($ ! - etc)
No spaces
Between 3-12 characters in length.
Case sensitive (You can be: DERP, derp or derP if you want).
Names are not unique (You can have 4 DERP's if you want. And any other player may also have DERP's)
That is how it is in beta atm. Remember that things may change for release.

Now that would be an example of unique names. Although the bottom two are not allowed (no spaces! too long)
Just expand on what Verity said, there aren't realms in the traditional sense like in WoW. Your region is a realm, and you create private games (max 4 players) within that realm. Think of it as hundreds of thousands of instances being run.
Oh god I hope so. I those letters are part of some languages, but it was getting really annoying in WoW seeing people with names completely made up of those letters just because they wanted a certain name. Like Lëgôlãš or something.
I want to contribute a point the the case-sensitive thing. If things is the way bnet2 was in sc2, name ARE case-sensitive(in terms of database). However the original case of your character will be remembered for displaying purpose.
For example if you made deRP and another person made DeRp, they will be treated as derp.001 and derp.002 server-side.
What this mean is that you can just type derp.001 or DERP.001 to get to the first person.

Latest project
We can't know for sure how many servers there will be. For all we know, they could split US into USWest and USEast (although that's highly unlikely).
DeathBySnuSnu is one character too long
I guess they may up the limit for release though, who knows.
@progammer, Ah yeah ok, makes sense.
lol, that is a great name for a female barb.
Too bad I will play a wizard 1st and likely forget.
Any good wizard names? Not, gandalf!
A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
I'll do HerpaDerpa
