How to filter multidimensional JavaScript array

I have this data:

var object = [{
    "nid": "31",
    "0": {
        "tid": "20",
        "name": "Bench Press",
        "objectDate": "2012-02-08",
        "goal": "rep",
        "result": "55.00",
        "comments": "sick!",
        "maxload": "250"
    },
    "1": {
        "tid": "22",
        "name": "Back Squat",
        "objectDate": "2012-02-08",
        "goal": "time",
        "result": "8.00",
        "comments": "i was tired.",
        "maxload": "310"
    }},
{
    "nid": "30",
    "0": {
        "tid": "19",
        "name": "Fran",
        "objectDate": "2012-02-07",
        "goal": "time",
        "result": "5.00",
        "comments": null
    }}];

and I would like to filter it by name. For instance, if I apply a filter for the name "Fran", I'd like to have something like this:

[0] => Array
     (
        [tid] => 19
        [name] => Fran
        [objectDate] => 2012-02-07
        [goal] => time
        [result] => 5.00
        [comments] => 
     )
[1] => Array
     (
        [tid] => 19
        [name] => Fran
        [objectDate] => 2012-02-08
        [goal] => rep
        [result] => 55.00
        [comments] => woohoo!
     )

Is it possible to achieve?
