No, this is not possible. SharePoint treats the file name as the primary key identifier for a document.

so if you try to upload a second document with the same name, it will overwrite the original file with the new one or return an exception "A file with the name xxx already exists".

If you need two documents with the same name, you will have to either place them in different folders within a document library or in different document libraries.
