Balance transfer question

Does anyone know when doing a balance transfer on a credit card does the card have to be in the same name?
My husband has a large amount owing on a credit card and we want to get a 12-16 month 0% apr so he can use he 50pound payment each month on paying a balance not interest!. However he is useless and to avoid him spending further on the card I would like it in my name. Is this possible?

    Can be different names. Best not to volunteer that information, though. :)
