Of course there is:

Either

<a>
     <xsl:attribute name="name">
         <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     Smith
</a>

or shorter with attribute value template

<a name="{position()}">Smith</a>

Is only a number a valid value? Isn't it better to use for example fam2:

<a name="fam{position()}">Smith</a>
