I believe you could combine the :checkbox selector and the attribute-contains selector:

$("input:checkbox[name*='top']").each();

As bažmegakapa points out in his comment, :checkbox selector is deprecated according to the documentation. Therefor it is probably better to use:

$("input[type=checkbox][name*='top']").each();
