This seems to be a TeX question. If you can use biblatex and biber in LyX for 
LaTeX production of the pdf, you can add firstinits to the options for 
biblatex, as in: 
\usepackage[firstinits,authortitle]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{yourbib.bib}

After checking the LyX wiki at http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex however, I 
realize this may be more involved than I initially thought it to be.
