Ember select view not understanding an Array

I'm copying this code for a select

{{view "select" content=names}}


export default Ember.ObjectController.extend({
  selectedName: 'Tom',
  names: ["Yehuda", "Tom"]
});

but I get this error:

Uncaught Error: Assertion Failed: The value that #each loops over must be an Array. You passed [Yehuda,Tom]
