position() is the position of the node in the current node list, ie in the
sequence of nodes being processed by the current invokation of
xsl:apply-templates.

In this case, you could write (I'm using AVT's because I don't like typing):

<input type="text" name="Name{count(../preceding-sibling::*) + 1}"/>
