I think the ship caught on because he's of similar height and age with Ruby, maybe younger. Mid-teens. Definitely not early or late teens. Either fifteen or sixteen.

He's the only other person Ruby's age in the whole show.

And to answer the identity crisis of OsPine and Ozpin, we don't have any evidence in the whole first three volumes to suggest Ozpin had a different voice living in his head. It was never hinted at. Sure, we knew in some sense that he had a wizard connection, but we never saw any residual evidence of him interacting with a second person in his head. I figured he convinced the other dude to leave, but the way Oz spoke, it seems Oz can't leave if he tried. So maybe over time the "invading" soul's influence becomes less and less?

It seems more plausible than "there has been a second being in Oz the whole time." Maybe that's what Ozpin was drinking, though. Something that surpressed the second invading soul somehow.
