When creating a new form, leave the app/form name field blank.
Upon saving or publishing, if the app/form name field is blank, prompt the form author to enter a name for the app/form.
If having an empty app/form name poses issues, consider using default values (e.g., "untitled") and implement a flag indicating that the name has not been set by the author. This way, we can determine whether to prompt users to enter a name upon saving or publishing.

For backward compatibility, we might still want to show the dialog, with a "Do this later" option?

I note that we can now do:

/fr/orbeon/builder/new?fr-app=foo&fr-form=bar

which skips the dialog and sets these values, or:

/fr/orbeon/builder/new?fr-app=foo

which prefills the app name but lets the user fill the form name.
