It does have a name, but it's just that a unique name is assigned by
the compiler and not known to the user.

7.3.1.1[namespace.unnamed]:

An unnamed-namespace-definition behaves as if it were replaced by

namespace unique { /* empty body */ }
using namespace unique;
namespace unique { namespace-body }

where all occurrences of unique in a translation unit are replaced
by the same identifier and this identifier differs from all other
identifiers in the entire program.
