Isolate a single column in a multi-dimensional array

Say for example you just queried a database and you recieved this 2D array.

$results = array(
    array('id' => 1, 'name' => 'red'  , 'spin' =>  1),
    array('id' => 2, 'name' => 'green', 'spin' => -1),
    array('id' => 3, 'name' => 'blue' , 'spin' => .5)
);

I often find myself writing loops like this.

foreach($results as $result)
    $names[] = $result['name'];

My questions is does there exist a way to get this array $names without using a loop? Using callback functions count as using a loop.

Here is a more generic example of getting every field.

foreach($results as $result)
    foreach($result as $key => $value)
        $fields[$key][] = $value;
