Yeah, that was a WTF moment.
I'm PurpleDanceOverwhelm with a purple magic wand icon. Very sparkly. Really doesn't fit my grumpy mood, heh.

I was something (don't remember, wasn't aware of the nicknames contest here ;) ) Pixie and I changed it to my Steam. Will do the same with my avatar, an ancient golden helmet atm.
I just fear now there will be even more scammers changing their name everyday to trick people.
I'm not especially surprise by the lack of total communication, just think about the entering giveaways issue for which we got an answere only after they fixed (one or two weeks).

Mine is OrangeGraveyardKing, with a bow-and-arrow over green.

I was GreyVanguardsomething, with an avatar depicting a sword. Confused the hell out of me, too O.o

OrangeKidnapKettle, which is the literal translation of the word used by candy to describe a child's plastic trick-or-treat pumpkin.

No problem. That sounds like some sort of cult member! ;)

I logged into my account this morning to see that my avatar and nickname had changed to something completely random. Whereas before my avatar was the same as my Steam account it's now an icon of a red bottle and my nickname has changed from BauerBoy24 to GrayTerrorAmulet. I definitely didn't make those changes.
I've reset my password as a precaution and contacted support but is anyone else is experiencing a similar issue?
EDIT: Looks like I'm not the only one. Seems like it would have been good of them to announce this sort of change so people don't think their account was hacked. Anyway, feel free to share your weird nicknames below :D
EDIT 2: I got a response to my email (for anyone that's interested):
I'm just gonna tell them to warn us in the future and leave it at that. I doubt they will, but it's worth a try ;)
EDIT 3: As some people have noticed, they've now added an option to use your steam name and avatar instead of the new name and icon. Looks like the 'Use Steam avatar and Steam username' option is selected by default. Maybe this was a result of all the backlash.
