I mean the other names make sense with additional context

Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)

And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking

edit as I had to look this one up: "Booby" is an ellision of "Bobo" - as in "No seas tan bobo" (Spanish) - meaning "silly, naive, dumb..." as they tend to be quite tame birds

literally the origin of the term - that bugs (literally) used to get into computers and mess them up
