How do you pronounce Occam?

How do you pronounce Occam? Does the first sylible ryme with Oak or with Spock?

‘Ockham’, which is the name of the village which gave him his name.

Though I should say usually the ‘h’ is almost slient, like in ‘Khaki’ and ‘Peckham’.

Or 'enry 'iggins.

…is the answer to your question. Occam, Knock 'em, Spock 'em would be a good start to a cheer at a school that featured philosophy of science, law enforcement, and child development.

I agree with MC. It’s close to what Jay Sherman, of The Critic would say: “Ackham!”

Spockham: Live long, prosper and do not multiply entities needlessly.
