The 16th/17th century French anatomist Jean Riolan the Younger gives a rather hilarious etymological explanation, as he writes:quia crepitus, qui per sedimentum exeunt, ad is os allisi, cuculi vocis similitudinem effingunt (because the sound of the farts that leave the anus and dash against this bone, shows a likeness to the call of the cuckoo). The latter is not considered as potential candidate.
