Is is possible to have the number be generated automatically so that it doesn't need to be defined by the user?

I don't think so. If you want to protect yourself from accidentally using the same number with different types, you can try the following:

template<typename S, typename Tag>
struct ParameterValue
{
  ParameterValue(S value_) : value(value_) {}
  S value
};

struct ConfigNameTag {};
typedef ParameterValue<std::string, ConfigNameTag>   ConfigName;
struct PathNameTag {};
typedef ParameterValue<std::string, PathNameTag>   PathName;
