I personally would shy away from trying to create the database table dynamically, but take an approach where you store the fields in a table, and relate them to a form object. Something like this:

public Form
{
    [Key]
    public int FormId {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public IList<Field> {get;set;}
}

public Field
{
    [Key]
    public int FieldId {get;set;}
    public string FieldName {get;set;}
    public string FieldValue {get;set;}

    [ForeignKey("FormId")]
    public Form Form {get;set;}
    public int FormId {get;set;}
}

With this structure, creating a form would simply be a case of creating a Form object, and then you can just simply add as many Field objects to it as you wish. Each Field object can be named anything that you want, and would be unique to the Form it is associated to
