In C or C++, an enumeration declaration is not a scope.
In C++, if you need overloaded enumerators, you must wrap
them in a namespace and then always qualify the duplicates.

     namespace color { enum e { Red, Green, Blue }; }
     namespace mood { enum e { Cheerful, Angry, Blue }; }
     using namespace color;
     using namespace mood;
     color::e my_c1 = Red;
     color::e my_c2 = color::Blue;
     mood::e my_m1 = Angry;
     mood::e my_m2 = mood::Blue;

No C++ programmer would declare mood the way you did,
with some enumerators capitalized and others not (except
perhaps for sentinel ones). But in C++ it would not be
unusual for someone to write
     class Frob { /* ... */ };
     Frob frob;
