Moby Dick has become a metaphor for something that we pursue vigilantly, but that will ultimately destroy us. Something we become obsessed with and in the end consumed by.
This has always led me to believe that the song was so called because it was so hard on Bonham to create, recreate and perform live. I always assumed that the other band members referred to it as his Moby Dick.

I like the hooker story though.
