I'm playing catch up with GoT and relying on YouTube to help fill in blanks etc but have noticed there are a lot of Brandon Starks who all have important roles in shaping the story. I know the theory they are all Bran jumping through time but is there a reason why the name keeps reappearing and does every generation of ruling Stark name a son Brandon? The Starks go back 8000 years so plenty of time to think of new names.

Aristocrats tend to name newborns after illustrious ancestors. For targs, it'd be Aegon, for Starks Brandon, for Lannisters it used to be Lancel/Tyrion/Tommen, now It would probably be Tywin, For Arryns it was Osric etc

We don't have anywhere near a full family tree but the Stark's trace their routes back to the First Men 8000 years ago so it stands to reason that somewhere along the line a generation didn't have someone named Brandon.
"He does," his father admitted. "As did the Targaryen kings before him. Yet our way is the older way. The blood of the First Men still flows in the veins of the Starks, and we hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.
