It doesn't return an array, but an object. You don't need to be looping over anything.

You can just get the name straight from the object:

$.getJSON(fburl, function(data){
     var name = data["name"];
     $("#profile").append("
"+name+"
"); 
});

PS. you had a syntax error with $("#profile").append("

"+name+"

");as well (you forgot the + around name)
