If it’s so often applied that the vast majority of people think it is called Big Ben, does that make them wrong, or does it make your sentence wrong?

Nope. The “vast majority” (and I’m not sure they are - plenty of people have no problem getting it right) of people are wrong. We don’t get to vote on facts.

Arguably, it’s a synecdoche, and thus no more wrong than calling the USA “America” (but pars pro toto rather than totum pro parte).
