writing data into files whose names are in a vector

In the same context I tried the following but with no results.

mywrite=function(a,b){
write.csv(a,paste(b,".csv")
}
lapply(age,mywrite(age,names))

which produced:
Error in cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, append) :
 argument 1 (type 'list') cannot be handled by 'cat'

Thanks once again.

How do I use the write function (or write.table or write.csv) to

achieve

the following please?

age=c(32,37,39)
names=c("john","peter","jake")

I would like create in a directory 3 files each named as
john.csv,peter.csv and jake.csv and each file have data from the age
vector. That is jon.csv will contain 32, peter.csv will contain 37

and

jake.csv will contain 39.

Thanks for the help.
