Yes, it is possible with the --morph-anonymous option. With this option
all anonymous types will be automatically named with their names derived
from the names of enclosing elements/attributes. I see that when you
named the types manually, you added the _type suffix. You can do this
too by adding the --anonymous-regex option, e.g.:

--anonymous-regex "%.* .* (.+/)*(.+)%$2_type%"

This option allows you to alter the process of name derivation used by XSD.
For more information on these and other (e.g., --anonymous-regex-trace)
options see the XSD Compiler Command Line Manual:

The C++/Tree Mapping FAQ entry 1.1 also has some relevant information:

BTW, in the next release of XSD the automatic anonymous type naming will
be turned on by default.
