It looks like you manually changed the name of the first layer and the auto rename is not working. Try this:

for (var i=2;i<=1000;i++)
{activeDocument.activeLayer.name=(activeDocument.activeLayer=activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate()).textItem.contents=i}

sTT = stringIDToTypeID, cntr = 999; while(cntr)
	(dsc2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putString(sTT('name'), 1000 - --cntr),
	(dsc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putObject(sTT('new'), sTT('layer'), dsc2),
	dsc1.putBoolean(sTT('copy'), true), executeAction(sTT('make'), dsc1)

1. Create text layer '1' with properties like shadows, strokes, etc

2. Select it on layers palette

3. Run script

for (var i=2; i<=1000;i++)
{(activeDocument.activeLayer= activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate ()).textItem.contents = i}

Omg that's amazing!!! it worked! Thank you!

The only issue I found was that the layers were named:

"1 Copy 1"

"1 Copy 2"

"1 Copy 3"

etc

If there was a name to take the name of the text that's in that layer that would be amazing.

Either way thank you so much you genius!!!
