nested objects with arbitrary keys to key-value objects with jq

Question

There is an json object with n nested objects, where the key ist arbitrary and the nested objects have all the same structure.

Example:

{
  "albert":{ 
       "age": 35
  }, 
  "sarah":{ 
       "age": 33
  },
  "otto":{
        "age":27
  }
}

with jq the output should be an array and look like this:

[
  {"name":"albert","age":35},
  {"name":"sarah"","age":32},
  {"name":"otto","age":27},
]

Can somebody help me?

Thank you,
