Bootstrap Checkbox Name

I haven't used checkboxs with the Bootstrap library yet so I'm trying to clarify something. I've been reading the documentation on Bootstrap form elements and noticed that none of the checkboxs have a name attribute. It has been my understanding that a checkbox needs a name.

For example this is what the Bootstrap website gives as an example:

<div class="checkbox">
  <label>
    <input type="checkbox" value="">
    Option one is this and that&mdash;be sure to include why it's great
  </label>
</div>

But if I were to use this wouldn't it have a name attribute like this:

<div class="checkbox">
  <label>
    <input type="checkbox" value="" name="bootstrapCheck">
    Option one is this and that&mdash;be sure to include why it's great
  </label>
</div>
