Memoir's own index implementation is fundamentally incompatible with
splitidx which is used by LyX for multiple indexes. It is possible to
add special support for memoir (I am going to look into that), but
currently you need to refrain from using LyX's multiple index support
and do the second index manually.

Here is some support:

* Store the attached memoir-nomindex.module in your User Directory (see
Help > About LyX) in a sub-folder "layouts"

* put the attached "makeindexall" python script in your PATH and make
it executable

In LyX:

* Tools > Reconfigure and restart
* Load the module "Index of Names for the Memoir Class"
* In Tools > Preferences > Output > LaTeX, change the index processor
to "custom" and enter "makeindexall"

You will now find an inset for name index entries in Insert > Custom
Insets and an inset for the actual inset in Insert >
List/Content/References.

To change the header of the second index, put in TeX mode
\renewcommand{\indexname}{Name Index}
right before it

If you want a different second index than a name index, adjust this
accordingly.

Hope this helps

(I am also updating the wiki and provide these files there)
