How to include a namespace in JsonResult

Using MVC4 c# environment. I am needing to get a namspace to my jsonObject. Currently I am using the following structure.

   var results =
               Globals.StaticList
               .Where(x => x.LookupName.ToLower().Contains(searchString.ToLower()))
               .Select(x => new nvp()
               {
                   Name = x.LookupName,
                   ID = x.LookupName

               }).Distinct().ToArray();

          return new JsonResult() { Data = results.Take(10), JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet };

which returns like this: 

[{"Name":"Name 1","ID":"Name 1"},{"Name":"Name 2","ID":"Name 2"}]

The issue is I would like for it to return as 

{"TheNameSpace": [{"Name":"Name 1","ID":"Name 1"},{"Name":"Name 2","ID":"Name 2"}]}

my nvp class looks like this: 

 [DataContract(Namespace = "TheNameSpace")]
public class nvp
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public string ID { get; set; }
}

I have tried a few different variations of DataContractSerialization like this.. but it fails miserably: 

  var ms = new MemoryStream();
        var ser = new DataContractSerializer(typeof (nvp[]));
        ser.WriteObject(ms,results);
        var streamreader = new StreamReader(ms);
        return streamreader.ReadToEnd();

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

try :

   var results =
               Globals.StaticList
               .Where(x => x.LookupName.ToLower().Contains(searchString.ToLower()))
               .Select(x => new nvp()
               {
                   Name = x.LookupName,
                   ID = x.LookupName

               }).Distinct().ToArray().Take(10);

return new Json(new {TheNameSpace= results},JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

Hope will help.
