On floor 3 of my ship I noticed a large wall display with an Alliance logo and a bunch of names, and some empty name plaques. What are these names? Is this a memorial of people killed by my decisions?

I note Ashley Williams is on the list, and when I started the game I picked her as the one that died in this save. I didn't import an ME 2 file and no one has yet died due to my decisions in game.

Yes, this is a memorial plaque to the crew members who have been lost.

If you're particularly careless/heartless, the list can get pretty full, apparently (as LessPop_MoreFizz linked in chat):

full memorial plaque

Many names on this list coincide to fallen soldiers whose dog tags you picked up during the Mass Effect 2 Normandy SR-1 crash site assignment.

The carefree expression on your Shepard really sells it. – Ben Brocka Mar 10 '12 at 2:55
Wait, crew mates only? – Ben Brocka Mar 10 '12 at 2:56
I believe everyone on the that list has been a crew member of the Normandy at some point or another. – Tim Stone Mar 10 '12 at 2:58
Help me out here... From the looks of that picture, it seems his only eligible squad members are James and EDI... How does that even happen!? – Fluttershy Mar 10 '12 at 3:57
@Tristan I imagine you have to really work at it...kill as many people as possible in ME2, then finish off at least Ashley/Kaidan in ME3. – Tim Stone Mar 10 '12 at 4:09
