Metaphor in spirited away:
The bath house is symbolism to the Edo period where bath houses became popular due to how girls used to sell their "services" to men. The bath houses were called "yuna baro". Women in these bath houses were called "yuna" (akin to women called Yuna in the movie). Since the word "yu" literally means bath house, the owner of the bath house (or brothel) is called Yubaba, like the movie.
Similar to how Chihiro's name is forcefully changed to Sen, a prostitute may change her own name to Dolly or something. No face keeps offering Chihiro money, insinuating he wants "her".
