The bastard last name for Targaryens would be "Rivers". But Bran's logic may have been incorrect since he referred to the location where he was born. The location specific last name is given if the family is not known. If the family is known, then the family specific last name is given.
They're all location based. Not family based. However, only the members of a noble house get to use the name. Sand is for the area of the South with Dorne (E.g., the sand snakes). Snow is for the North, so not just the Stark bastards would take the name (E.g., Ramsay Snow).
Flowers: The Reach
Hill: The Westerlands
Pyke: Iron Islands
Rivers: The Riverlands
Sand: Dorne
Snow: The North
Stone: The Vale of Arryn
Storm: The Stormlands
Waters: The Crownlands

(Edric Storm- Stormlands, Mya Stone- Vale). Gendry has no surname since his mother was not high born
Targareyan bastards are called blackfyre
Bean seems to imply a location based naming convention. I always thought it was based on the father, because Jon Snow was never thought to have been born in the North, since Ned was on campaign when he supposedly fathered him. So yeah, don't know what Targaryen bastards are called, but they're not a Dornish house, sooo...
I think Rivers is actually just the name for bastards from the Riverlands. I am not sure if it would be Snow or Sand. Some discrepancy on whether the name comes from birth place or mother's home. Robert's bastards were all named based on where their mother's lived and had different last names
The Targaryen bastard name is Waters, so I have no idea what Bran is taking about
Waters is kings landing. There is no set Targ bastard name.
Must be location based.
No OW1, that was specific to Daemon Blackfyre after he was given true born rights. He started as Daemon Waters.
