> the Dutch word Wick

Wick is not a word that I know of, do you mean Wijk (neighborhood)? Like Noordwijk en Katwijk? Because that's almost certainly not related to 'bay'. Many coastal towns are named something with a 'dam' however (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Monnikedam).

Yep, I meant wijk. Not sure what happened there! wick is also used in English.
