I don't know. I'm spanish speaking too.
position(const value_type& x) const;
position() would be a perfect fit except for one thing: in the roadmapped ranked indices (http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/future_work.html#ranked_indices) I will need another member function to return the position ordinal of a given element (that is, the inverse of operator[]), and for that "position" seems also a good candidate. If we could find some other name for this latter memfunction, I think I'd adopt "position" for the former.
or if you are worried about "position" sounding like a verb,
get_position(const value_type& x) const;
"position" seems OK to me as the verb interpretation doesn't look so obvious, but then again I'm not a native English speaker --incidentally, those who proposed empty() for STL containers didn't seem to have their English well oiled that day, either :) Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

IMO that should have been "index."
If we could find some other name for this latter memfunction, I think I'd adopt "position" for the former.

get_position(const value_type& x) const;

"Position yourself between me and the wall" It's not a very common usage, so I agree with you.
