log into the toons
Did you somehow do a multiple transfer of the same toon?
For instance, if I transfered the same toon to Test twice (where both would exist simultaneously), then the second toon would get a +1, +2, etc depending on how many copies were sent.

I did the same thing, checked the name 1st and all.
Then I was shocked to see the 1 at the end. I'm thinking the name was grabbed in a nanosecond.
Logged in to see how I could adjust it. Deleted the 1 and clicked OK just for the heck of it. Done. I still had my name!
Not sure why it puts the # there if it isn't needed but there ya go. Just log in and take the 1 off.

When I logged in it told me that I had to accept the +1. I didn't have the option to change it.

When I did a server transfer, and the name had been taken already, I was a bit upset I didn't get the rename token, but when I logged in the character, a UI popped up telling me to rename her there. After selecting the new name, nothing appeared to have changed, but then when I did a /quit and the timer showed up next to her name, it changed to the new name.
Sounds related to the glitch in the costume creator. If you check for a name's availability at any screen other than the final registration screen, it reserves the name for you, and prevents anyone, including you, from using it. But the game only reserves one name for you at a time, so the workaround on the character creator is to check for/reserve another name, freeing up the old reserved one you really wanted.
If you checked the name's availability before the transfer, you might have been caught by that same bug. When a transfer automatically tacks the "1" on the end of your name, you're given the option to rename the next time you log in. At that point, what Gemesis suggested might (should) work for you, as well. When it asks what name you want, delete the "1" and try it.
Edited to add:
I just saw that it looks like you already re-transferred the character back to his home server, and paid for a rename. Just FYI: when the game tacks the "1" on the end, you have to log the character in before the game gives you a free oppportunity to change it. Chances are, had you logged the character in and removed the "1," it would have worked for ya. Not sure if customer support can help with this, but since I'm pretty sure it was related to that costume creator bug, it wouldn't hurt to PM Zwillinger and ask if they can do anything for you.

This cost me some real cash last night. I wanted to transfer characters to Exalted last night, so I did a name check and the names were available, but after I spent the points to get the transfers, I found my characters has a "1" added to their names. No option not to cancel the transfer, just either take the +1 or do a rename. The insult to injury was the cost of transferring them back to their original server, +1 and all, which cost more cash to get renames just to remove the "1". $20 buck for nothing! Either tell me what I did wrong or someone please fix this.
