JSON with Array Respone from API

Question

i have a HTTPclient and im sending request to a Server. The response from the server is a JSON. In this Json is also an array. I want do display the information from the JSON in the consol. I get all information from the JSON, but i dont get the array displayed in my console.

The JSON looks like this:

{
    "Name1": "Karl",
    "Name2": "Peter",
    "Name3": "Wilhelm",
    "PreNames": {
        "PreName": "Werner",
        "PreName2": "Josef"
    }
}

So now my Code so far:

public class PreNames //for Array
    {
        public string PreName { get; set; }
        public string PreName2{ get; set; }
    }

    public class Names//for JSON
    {
        public string Name1{ get; set; }
        public string Name2{ get; set; }
        public string Name3{ get; set; }
    }

And my Main:

if (Response().IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var namesJ= Response().Content.ReadAsAsync<IEnumerable<Names>>().Result;
            var preNamesJ= await Response().Content.ReadAsAsync<List<PreNames>>();



            foreach (var a in namesJ)

            {

                Console.WriteLine("Name1: {0}", a.Name1);

                foreach(var b in preNamesJ)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", b.PreName);
                }
                
            }

So in the console are all names displayed, but not the PreNames so i cant get the PreNames from the array in the JSON...

I Hope somebody could help me :)

@Leonc443, Here is a working code

    using Newtonsoft.Json;  //add this nuget package
    using System;

    namespace ConsoleApp
    {
        class Program
        {
            public static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                string json = @"{
                    'Name1': 'Karl',
                    'Name2': 'Peter',
                    'Name3': 'Wilhelm',
                    'PreNames': {
                                'PreName': 'Werner',
                                'PreName2': 'Josef'
                            }
                }";  // data received from api
                var names = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Names>(json);
                Console.WriteLine(names.Name1);     // Karl
                Console.WriteLine(names.Name2);     //Peter
                Console.WriteLine(names.Name3);     //Wilhelm
                Console.WriteLine(names.PreNames.PreName);      //Werner
                Console.WriteLine(names.PreNames.PreName2);     // Josef

            }
        }
        public class Names
        {
            public string Name1 { get; set; }
            public string Name2 { get; set; }
            public string Name3 { get; set; }
            public PreNames PreNames { get; set; }
        }

        public class PreNames
        {
            public string PreName { get; set; }
            public string PreName2 { get; set; }
        }
    }

Please let me know if this helps
