Should probably explain the "doom" thing. No, it most definitely does not have anything to do with BL. If we were going to give her a nickname, I could think of quite a few things...
Just so you know, in Thailand, people are given nicknames, that tend to be used their entire lives, when they are born. For example, Ouen, kind of pronounced "wu one" means "fat". If your baby is fat, you might call him "Ouen". That name will stick with him for life; referring to a 46 year old guy as "Mr Ouen" is commonplace. They tend not to use their real first or last names. With doctors, they will be referred to as "Dr. (real first name)". Lawyers go by nicknames. (I have a few choice nicknames for that crowd). You might know someone for years, and never know their real legal name. Very warm and fuzzy place.
I know an accountant who is, well, fat. His nickname is Ouen, and people call hiim that, usually with a Mr in front of it. He doesn't mind it, and most certainly doesn't find it offensive. It's his name. I also know this hot little Thai babe, with the tightest sexiest body you can imagine, all draped in long black hair, accompanied by the most perfect smile you ever saw, with a wiggle in her walk that will make you melt. Her name is Ouen also. Go figure.
My Thai girlfriend's real name is not Doom; that would be her nickname. But, I kind of gave it to her. Her parents gave her the nickname "Dtom", which I have trouble pronouncing, for obvious reasons. The Thai alphabet has 44 consonants and 22 vowels; all spoken with five tones. We don't have enough letters in our alphabet to really correspond to their alphabet, and I can't make that "dt" sound. Really don't have a clue.
So I call her "Doom".
Reminds me of my previous relationships.
She's not too fond of it, not because she understands what "doom" really means (she doesn't), but because, all of her friends call her "Doom" now, and not "Dtom". I've started something there.
Oh, FYI, I have a "Thai" nickname there. They call me "Big Boss". It's gotten to the point where people in many different places now, call me that.
The Phuket Provincial Police Department gave it to me. Another story.
