Is there a way to retain the position by using an applescript or some
additional bash command?

set itemLoc to path to desktop

set itemName to "untitled folder"

set newName to "New Folder Name"

tell application "Finder"

activate

set itemAlias to (item itemName of itemLoc) as alias

on error

beep

return -- itemAlias does not exist

end try

-- change other attributes of itemAlias here

set name of the result to newName -- do this last

end tell

It worked with no problem. My experience is that changing the name should be done last if you are changing attributes other than the name.
