Two comments about this discussion (rather bibTeX/LaTeX than LyX-oriented,
I'm afraid).
1/ I think it's better to look for a convenient bst file (and the style
which fits to get the right stuff in the text) than try to
hack the bsts. Seems that natbib does a pretty good job on that
(probably among a lot of others).
A catalogs of bsts and the corresponding result on a database
would be useful, and maybe exist.
2/ As for french citation of first names, the adequation of the
citation style in not so simple as having a non-english bst
for a non-english language, keeping the same bibtex database,
when there are french and english citations in the same bibliography.
My personal feeling is that you will need a french citation style
for french citations and an english citation style for english citations.
That means that the citation type should be different
(@RapTech for @TechReport for example).
I understand that this raises some problems however, and an automatic
recognition of a language field should be perhaps better.
