I recall being told the Heathrow “EPSOM” holD was name changed to “OCKAM” to appease the numerous wealthy and politically influential residents of Epsom, who objected to having a holding stack over their manor. They were overjoyed the EPSOM stack was withdrawn, not realising that the introduced OCKAM stack in effect still put holding aircraft over them!
