Anyone know how, when and why certain parts of the body got people names such as Ba¶ka or Wacek?

I must say I have never heard the name Ba¶ka to be used that way.

The question "when" might be hard to answer.

For "why" these might be the answers:
1) people wanted to avoid using other (let's call them "real") names for some reason?
2) becaue some people found it funny to call things with these names?
