Presumably you intend to add autonumbering at some point in the future so until then I'd go with "Layer" and keep it as simple as possible for now. (New Layer would be silly because as soon as you have created it, it aint new anymore.)
What I'm looking for is a name for the initial (bottom-most) layer in a new document, which is determined by the document template. So this would be what to put in the template.
But, hmm. I guess "Layer" makes quite a bit of sense actually. What do the rest of you think?
Dia follows gimp and calls the base layer "Background" and after all the other layers are called "New Layer" (no number increment, and I've been meaning to change the string to just 'Layer' for a while now).
Background might be confusing in Inkscape the way things are currently handled though (haven't thought about it in any great detail).
