Answer 1

If delay is always the same (3s in your example), you may avoid nested code and use setInterval instead of setTimeout:

var i
  , ids = ["myName", "YourName", "hisName"]
  , names = ["Tom", "Jerry", "Kids"];

i = setInterval(function () {
    if (ids.length > 0) {
        $("#" + ids.shift()).val(names.shift());
    } else {
        clearInterval(i);
    }
}, 3000);
