    }

First of all, your object has duplicate keys name. This is poor code and will throw an error in strict mode.

I would also use either a for ... in loop or Array.forEach here, because much less code is required to implement the desired effect.

Seems like you need to use an Array:

var arr = ["nick", "maria", "chaz"];

arr.forEach(function (name) {
    document.writeln(name);
});

You can use Array.forEach, which passes in each index to an anonymous function.

Alternatively, if you wanted each person to be an Object:

var people = [{name: 'chaz', title: 'mr'}, {name: 'nick', title: 'mr'}, {name: 'maria',title: 'ms'}];

for (i in people) {
    if (!people.hasOwnProperty(i)) { continue; }

    var person = people[i];
    document.writeln(person.name);
}
