No it wont be the same naming system, it will be the same as in D2 most likely....
Wrong. Evidence naming system is same
In the TLDR section we have this : "Character naming system is exactly like SC2's. Name#XXX."
Which I gather as you can name your character whatever you want, but you might not be the only one with that name. You will be numbered but you won't see the number. Could be wrong tho, haven't played Starcraft in a bit.
On the name part you put your usual nickname that you use. On the surname part you out some word that differentiates you apart form the other people using the same name.
Imagine if there are three people who want their nick to be Gandalf. Now there can be three people named Gandalf they will just have different surname parts.
Gandalf.Wiz
Gandalf.Thor
Gandalf.Gandalf
In game only the first part of the name is shown. The other part is visible everywhere else.
And then above all that there will be a profile that you will be able to make called RealID where you can put your true name and such that is private and only people that you confirm as your friend can access that info." Link
With Starcraft 2, not only do you have your battle.net account name, but you will also have a profile account name. Or that is how I interpret it.

"It is more like this format.
