Answer 1

var names = $('.checked > :checkbox').map(function() {
    return this.name;
}).toArray();

Fiddle

Using a class selector in conjunction with the child selector (>) and the jQuery (Sizzle) :checkbox selector (which is equivalent to [type=checkbox]).

$().map() returns a jQuery object, hence the .toArray() at the end. This is just one of the many ways to achieve the requested result.
