Example file

I agree with Eyal, in the sense that is hard to distill something meaningful
from the automatic generated labels at the Animation List. I get confused -
lost - within 5 minutes :-)

Distinguish shape text from shape name is - for me - only an illustration of
the issue.

The animations in the example file are attached to the text within a 'shape'
(text frame), not to the text frame itself. However, I can't distill this from
the label in the animation list. 

----
Also the default Text Frame (empty slide) are called identified as shape (like
shape1) while inserted smiley also being called 'shape'.
----

Something else: Insert a shape -> Right Click it -> Name. The field being
empty, while the navigator naming it 'Shape3 (Shape)' I prefer to simply name
the insert shape. So the name field showing 'Shape3'. Instead of empty name.
Observe that '(Shape)' disappears inside the navigator after naming it. I think
this might be still relevant information...

I don't have an answer a simple answer to solve this puzzle straight away. 

I personally like some indication of the locations of the animation within the
name. I mean the type of object (text frame/ drawing object name). 

Drawing objects have names on insertion (smiley/8 point star, circle). Yes, you
can change a circle into an ellipse. But most other drawing object have unique
properties. If you insert multiple smileys, those will be called smiley1
smiley2 ... It's surely better compared to calling everything 'shape1' 'shape2'

The ability to manually rename Animations would be something to consider, IMHO
