Acrobat Pro- Field text doesn't show up

You can set those texts as the fields' default values (under the Options tab in the Properties dialog). Then clear the form and they will revert to those values. The field names are not displayed to the user, normally.

Use something like this as custom format script (you can remove color part if you don't want it):

if(!event.value){
 event.target.textColor = ["G",0.7];
 event.value = "Name";}
else
  event.target.textColor = color.black;
