Naming things is hard. To drop the person's name from the model you'd ideally have a replacement that is both concise and expressive; a concise name allows us to effectively talk about the model itself, which is also important. Often, where such a phrase exists it's already used as an alternative:
* Occam's Razor: Law of Parsimony
* Pareto Principle: 80/20 Rule
* Hanlon's Razor: arguably an extension of the Principle of Charity
I do agree that moving away from the people names would be a benefit if (and maybe only if) we can find a similarly concise replacement.
