a private synonym can certainly have the same name as the object does.
Unless you mean that the same user owns the object AND the synonym. But in
that case, why would you want a synonym.
In fact, I used to set up test environments this way. One schema owned the
objects. I created public synonyms for those objects. The developers could
create copies of those tables and grant access to each other (if several
where working on the same project). Each developer would have his/her own
private synonym that pointed to the other developer's object. When testing
was done, we did not have to recode to get the correct table names in.
