Perhaps there should be a "changing items in..." event.
until then you could check...
tell application "Finder"
set {newFolName, folName, cnt} to {"Test", "Test", 0}
set |exists| to (get exists of folder named folName of desktop)
repeat until |exists| = false
set cnt to cnt + 1
set newFolName to folName & cnt
set |exists| to (get exists of folder named newFolName of desktop)
end repeat
set newFolder to (make new folder at desktop with properties
{name:newFolName})
end tell
