As far as I see, you are using a GtkToolButton but not a GtkButton.
Looking at the documentation [1], a tool buttton is a widget that
contains the button. In any case ...

>                 <property name="can_focus">False</property>
... you are setting can_focus on this widget as False. Usually, when you
navigate through an application, Orca exposes the name of the widget
when that widget get the focus. So if in this case, the widget doesn't
get the focus, it doesn't matter if it have a proper name.

One thing that I would try is set can_focus to true.

Did you find those issues while working with a specific application or
are you creating a small test example?
