Julius Caesar is a main character in the play, and even after his death appears as a ghost to Brutus. It can be and has been argued that Caesar's character overshadows the whole play, and so it is proper that it should be named after him. It is also possible that Shakespeare named the play after Caesar because he was better known than Brutus and so potential audience members were more likely to know what the play was about and buy tickets.
