It could be worse. In Czech, it could probably be called kohoutek - little cock/rooster (originally the term describes the round thing you turn to open the valve, but it is sometimes used for the whole water tap assembly).

Similar in Danish.

Cock/rooster: Hane

Tap: Hane

Saw a post a while ago with some dude rescuing a bird trapped by its "nozzle". English is a tricky language.
