Alexa Skill: Intent Name cannot be empty

I just tried to develop my first alexa skill with this simple code, but unfortunately it always shows me that the intent name cannot be empty. Whats wrong here? It is a parse error on line 5, but why?

{
"intents": [
  {
  "intent": "HelloIntent",
  "slots" : [
    (
        "name" : "FirstName",
        "type" : "GUEST_NAMES"
    )
  ]
}

The round brackets are invalid chars you need to type with the JSON syntax. Just delete them and it should be fine. An array initialised with [ and closed with ].

Do it this way:

"slots" : [
    "name" : "FirstName",
    "type" : "GUEST_NAMES"
]

Try this 

{
"intents": [
  {
  "intent": "HelloIntent",
  "slots" : [
        "name" : "FirstName",
        "type" : "GUEST_NAMES"
  ]
}
