This works:
tell application "Address Book"
set p to {nickname:"J_Bloggs", first name:"Joe", last name:"Blox"}
make person with properties p
properties of result
end tell
The 'name' is apparently constructed internally from the 'first name' and
the 'last name'. This is a bit short-sighted as many people (myself
included) are known by a middle name. (Many Web sites can't deal with
this either, or with the fact that many people (myself excluded) have
more than one middle initial.)
