Those who have been here a while… remember when you didn’t have your game play interrupted every time you accidentally “fingered” an animal? When you touched an animal back then, guess what happened? Absolutely nothing, as it should be.
The method some lazy programmer dreamed up to allow ppl to name their animals was and still is stupid. It’s impossible to always avoid hitting an animal, opening a window that then must be closed. There has to be a better way!

How do you close it?
Before and now, touching an animal makes it go crazy running and moving my screen. I tap on a ground nearby to stop the motion.
Still works. I didn't even open the dialog to xhange the name.

"Fix" farm animals... I was hesitant to open this topic!
Perhaps the way to rename them could be a menu like the machines/animals/decos... it'd group farm animals into housing type (like when you select decos and can then shift through Nature, Fence/Path, etc.), then you scroll up/down through the animals of that housing you have, seeing their current name and a graphic, and tap it to rename them.
This could also help when you're looking for one of them to rename but can't find them, and it could show you all their names to see if you want to rename any (rather than finding and tapping each one).

I think the request is coming from those of us who are frustrated by accidentally tapping an animal and having it run around — especially if it was asleep and we didn’t intend to wake it. Maybe a double tap to indicate that we actually intend to choose that animal. Renaming it is not exactly a rush job where double tap would be a problem. All the places where double taps have been introduced over the years have been appreciated. This would certainly be 👍🏽👍🏽 from me.
MarySC is listed as a “new member” but I know she’s talking about life on the farm before animal-naming was introduced.

Before the update introducing name option:
_ I only need 1 extra tap on the ground on the farm to stop the animal running
After the update introducing nam option:
_ I only need 1 extra tap on the ground on the farm to stop the animal running and close the Name bubble above the animal (not the one you can edit, but the one showing the name)
So for me, it is still the same 1 tap further to get back to farming after acidentally hitting an animal.
MarySC post seems to imply she has a few extra steps. That's what I wanted to clarify to better understand her frustration.
