AFAIK, you can only get the title after it's been made. Which makes sense. Why do you need it in advance?
Different ideas * Make an routine that creates the new tiddler, displays the name, and deletes the tiddler -- now you know what the tiddler would do * Make a routine that adds or increments a number. Harder to do, because we don't really have good regexp splitting tools. Ah-hem. * Use a routine that generates a guaranteed-to-be-unique name (e.g. datestamp) and use that for the basetitle.
