This is not really correct. The person who supposedly came up with the razors' 'name' was William of Occam (Ockham). It's not like the term comes from the idea being one that was held in the Village of Ockham that then came to be accepted by everyone else. He'd long since left when he came up with it.Occam was a place not a person.
It'd be like ascribing the activities and achievements of Francis of Assisi to the town of Assisi.
Pedantry is much better than made up trades, I'm sure we all agree.
