How to show the element wanted in an array in JavaScript

Question

Here is a part of the tutorial from Codecademy.
The instruction is:
Show the name of each member in the array by "For"

function Personne (nom, age)
{
    this.nom = nom;
    this.age = age;
};

var famille = new Array();
famille[0] = new Personne("alice", 40);
famille[1] = new Personne("bob", 42);
famille[2] = new Personne("michelle", 8);
famille[3] = new Personne("timmy", 6);

for( i=0; i<famille.length; i++)
{
    console.log( famille[i] );
};

Which means I need to show:

alice
bob
michelle
timmy

but with the "For" that I wrote, it shows everything like

{ nom: 'alice', age: 40 }
{ nom: 'bob', age: 42 }
{ nom: 'michelle', age: 8 }
{ nom: 'timmy', age: 6 }

According to the tutorial's instruction, I have to creat the array like that
So what is the correct way to get only the name(nom) of each member?
Thanks for those who can help me!

Sorry about that, as a rookie and learn by myself, I don't think I can easily find the answer in the link that you show me, that's why I prefer to ask on my own, ps, I am learning in french, so I only know very few term in english. — Jiang Lan, Mar 25 '16 at 17:16

Try to access the object's property and print it,

for( i=0; i<famille.length; i++) {
    console.log(famille[i].nom);
};

You are printing the object itself.
