I like the idea that the hosts of the Headmaster have names derived from the Wizard of Oz's actual name, though I think maybe it would be better if they only started with the letter rather than literally being things like Zoroaster.

As for Ozpin as a name...well, it could be a throwback to the original, or it might simply be Ozpin's actual last name. They apparently have a ton of last names that pefectly match the CNR despite it being a very recent thing in history, so Ozpin might have just had a perfect last name for the job, just as Oscar does. Maybe it's a thing with Ozpin; the shared souls thing requires the next host to be male and have a name that can be shortened to Oz, like Ozpin and Oscar can.

Who knows, we might see a bunch fo Oswald's or Osbourne's in history that were key people during times of struggle. The King of Vale might have even been called something like King Oswald.
