Looping through Ansible Register output and printing the result as list

This is the sample task which give me the output which contains a list of self IPs. I want to capture this in Result and just print only the name of self IP.

I was able to print if I give a list index, but I can't loop through it to capture it as a separate list to use it in a different task.

- name: Port Lock Down - Allow Default
  bigip_device_info:
    gather_subset:
      - self-ips
    provider: "{{provider}}"
  register: Result
- name : Display the selfips
  debug:
    var: Result

Can someone help me to use the for loop to get all the self IPs names as list instead of one single output?

You actually do not need a loop to achieve this, you can use the map filter of Jinja instead:

Result.self_ips | map(attribute='name')

Given the task:

- debug:
    var: Result.self_ips | map(attribute='name')
  vars:
    Result:
      self_ips:
        - address: 3.3.3.3
          allow_access_list:
            - 'tcp:8080'
            - 'udp:53'
            - 'gre:0'
            - default
          floating: 'no'
          full_path: /Common/test-self-ip-1
          name: test-self-ip-1
        - address: 4.4.4.4
          allow_access_list: all
          floating: 'no'
          full_path: /Common/test-self-ip-2
          name: test-self-ip-2

This yields the result:

Result.self_ips | map(attribute='name'):
  - test-self-ip-1
  - test-self-ip-2
