Combining the answers and adding a small amount I get this function, it creates the new layer as required, for the stamp layer it does name it as BLUR but for the background only copy it renames the background layer as BLUR and the new layer is Background copy, so I need to get the new layer in focus before the rename action

function stampLayer(){
    if (activeDocument.layers.length > 1){
        var adStampLayer = new ActionDescriptor();
        adStampLayer.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "Dplc" ), true );
	executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "MrgV" ), adStampLayer, DialogModes.NO ); }
	
	if (!((lrs = (aD = activeDocument).layers).length - 1) && (bG = lrs[0]).isBackgroundLayer) bG.duplicate();
	
	var docRef = activeDocument
	docRef.activeLayer.name = "BLUR";
	docRef.activeLayer.applyGaussianBlur(20);
    
};

If you want duplication was selected, use this code after bG.duplicate() (before semicolon):

, aD.activeHistoryState = (sH = aD.historyStates)[sH.length - 1]

You could try this...  function stampLayer(){    var adStampLayer = new ActionDescriptor();    adStampLayer.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "Dplc" ), true );    executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "MrgV" ), adStampLayer, DialogModes.NO );}; Set the Dplc to false to emulate "Flatten Image", though you can do that in one line by removing adStampLayer and replace it by undefined in executeAction
