    the following script works only if your swatches are "Spots"

    select your little squares before running

     

    var fontSize = 20;
var spacing = 6;
 
 
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var sel = idoc.selection;
 
 
for (j=0; j<sel.length; j++) {
    var ipath = sel[j];
    var itext = idoc.textFrames.add();
          try {
                    var icolor = ipath.fillColor;
                    itext.contents = icolor.spot.name;
          }
          catch (e){
                    itext.contents = 'Convert to Spot';
          }
 
 
          itext.textRange.characterAttributes.size = fontSize;
          itext.left = ipath.left + ipath.width + spacing;
          itext.top = ipath.top - ipath.height/2+ itext.height/2;
}
