Very similar case use here. I use Title for Botanical/Scientific Name, 
and Caption for common names.

Externally I then use the convert script (from imagemagick) in a bash 
script to overlay this on images used in a screensaver. e.g.


convert -font DejaVu-Sans-Oblique  -geometry 1920 -background orchid1  
"$wfconv1" -pointsize 72 -size 1920x -gravity south -splice 0x10 
caption:"${taxa_scientific_name}" -append "$wfconv2"
mv $wfconv2 $wfconv1
convert -font DejaVu-Sans  -geometry 1920 -background rosybrown1 
"$wfconv1" -pointsize 72 -size 1920x -gravity south -splice 0x10 
caption:"${taxa_common_name}" -append "$wfconv2"
