This should be fairly easy to do with a simple module. These two posts should get you going:

There are several different possible methods detailed in here:

This post is less relevant since it is for pages created with the API, but might be worth a read still:

thank you,adrian  , your reply is very helpful.. 

and thanks for ryan  in here:

http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1908-automatically-generating-new-page-names/?p=17887

i do this and get what i want:

open "wire\modules\process\ProcessPageAdd\ProcessPageAdd.module":

find this : "public function init()"  and add this line 

$this->addHookBefore('InputfieldPageName::render', $this, 'hookRender'); 

then add this function in this class:

	public function hookRender(HookEvent $event) {
	  if($this->process != 'ProcessPageAdd') return;
	  $id=$this->pages->find("include=all")->last()->id+1;  //get the latest id
	  $inputfield = $event->object;
	  if(strlen($inputfield->attr('value'))) return; 
	  $inputfield->attr('value', $id);  
	}

ok,that's all.

thank you everyone!

Glad to help.

Just one thing - from what you describe, it sounds like you are editing the core ProcessPageAdd module. You don't want to do this, because you'll have to make these changes again every time you upgrade PW. Instead you should create your own simple module using that code.
