No, each function must have a unique name.

Why would you even want two setup() functions?

If you really want one:

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  setup2();  // run the setup2 function
}

void setup2() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

I am still intrigued as to why you would want/need two setup() functions.

That occured to me but there was no corresponding question about having two loop() functions
