I'd prefer #1.  I think the two scenarios have entirely different user
expectations.  When you have just created a new element, the next
likely thing for you to do is name it.  The majority of the time that
you select an existing element, you are going to be examining it and
not changing the name.  Having the name field selected is just going
to lead to people accidently overwriting a name that they want to
keep.
