"flourished" is new to me, too.

There are still parts of India, where there is no concept of first name:

You should think of switching to biblatex.
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex/). There, a field like
"flourished" should be supported easy.
Maybe the styles of Dominik Waßenhoven
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-dw/) help?

We're using jgoodies-forms-1.5.1, but there are good changes, that
JabRef will also compile with 1.6+

I think, it's worth the effort to ask the maintainer to update the ebuilds. :-)

Cheers,
