If you really can't give them different names or id and you want to check them all :

$('input[name="thename"]').prop('checked', true);

If you want to check the first, the third and the fifth checkbox, you can do this :

$('input[name="thename"]').filter(':eq(0), :eq(2), :eq(4)').prop('checked', true);

I'm not sure about what OP wants. Maybe this answer will disappear next time I re-re-reread the question.

use id's to identify them individually:

<input type='checkbox' name='name' id='cb_1'/>
<input type='checkbox' name='name' id='cb_2'/>
<input type='checkbox' name='name' id='cb_3'/>
<input type='checkbox' name='name' id='cb_4'/>
<input type='checkbox' name='name' id='cb_5'/>

If you want to delete checkbox you check then this could help if you use jQuery

1 <input type='checkbox' name='my_name' /><br>
2 <input type='checkbox' name='my_name' /><br>
3 <input type='checkbox' name='my_name' /><br>
4 <input type='checkbox' name='my_name' /><br>
5 <input type='checkbox' name='my_name' /><br>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        // Event handler activates when value of input with specified name is changed
        $("input[name=my_name]").on("change", function(event) {
            // checks if checkbox was checked, if so - deletes it
            if (true === $(this).prop('checked')) $(this).remove();
        });
    </script>
