JSON call data array that has whitespaces in its name

Question

I'm calling a json string that has white spaces in the its identifiers which is causing my code to break. I'd like to call the first name and last name

var names = jQuery.parseJSON('[{"F name":"Chris1","Lname":"Test1"},
{"F name":"Chirs2 ","Lname":"Test2"},{"F name":"Chris3","Lname":"Test3"}]');

//This outputs **First Name: undefined** 
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=('First Name: '+names[1].Fname+'\n 
\n <br/>Last Name: '+names[1].Lname+'');

//This outputs nothing
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=('First Name: '+names[1].["F name"]+
'\n \n <br/>Last Name: '+names[1].Lname+'');

I know the naming sucks, and it should not have a space like "F name" but its not my original data so I have to use the naming convention. Do you know the correct syntax to display the first name in this array?

Thanks for your help!

It should be this:

names[1]["F name"]

Without the .
