Could this be solved by having auto completion in the name field ? And 
possibely a drop-down with the history of used names ?

What about adding a toggle-button (with like a pen), that when is pressed, 
replace the current paintop with a circular brush which allow to draw ? (I am 
actually unsure if I like the idea, but on the other hand the workflow you 
described seems a bit like a hack...)
