Issue creating a ENUM with "name" field

[Ashwani]

Please see the FAQ in our main README.md before submitting your issue.

Hi, I am creating an ENUM called SortOn which has a field "name" ,

enum SortOn {
  created_at = 1;
  name = 2;
  size = 3;
  region = 4;
}

but the pb.go generated by protoc creates a constant:

const (
	
	SortOn_name      SortOn = 2
)

also a value map for the enum with the same name:

// Enum value maps for SortOn.
var (
	SortOn_name = map[int32]string{
		0: "id",
		1: "created_at",
		2: "name",
		3: "size",
		4: "region",
	}

which is a compilation error, How should I handle this? I need the field "name" in my enum.

For help, please file an issue in the protobuf repo instead. We own the code generator for services and methods but not data types (messages/enums/etc):

The only way to do this is using Uppercase for enum fields, which is also the best practice for proto.
