No,
oomkin
comes from pre-BC raiding moonkins (a rare and dedicated breed, much like pre-BC raiding ferals) where with full cloth caster epics an oomkin could do competitive damage.. but would go oom hilariously fast.
When Dreamstate and the other mana saving talents came along in patch 2.0 oomkin became boomkin.
I think the rest are just spin-offs from that :-)

oomkin = moonkin that do run out of mana very fast (pre-tbc hell)
(Moonkin : oom!
Player B: again?
Player A: "sigh" oomkins...)
Boomkin = the great crits that like a BOOM! big crit!
(Player A : wow what did hit him down half of health?
Player B: omg starfire crit
Moonkin: feel the wrath of boomkin!) *
*trash mobs
Doomkin= a good Moonkin player in pvp
Troll on druid forum: NERF MOONKIN! + ton of bull!@#$
Moonkin= <3
so here the ranks
noobking>oomkin>moonkin>boomkin>doomkin
noobking is the one that ...just suck
oomkin is teh mana starved
moonkin is the avrage
boomkin is when the big number start come
Doomkin only a forum troll that complain about you damage can promote you

Oomkin was the previous derogatory term
Boomkin and Doomkin are the current self-congratulatory terms.
Which is why i simply stick with moonkin.

Aww. Well, if you don't want to congratulate yourself, what if I do it for you?

A moonkin who pulls agro from bosses is a failkin.
(i actually did that recently with a string of 3 7k5-8k crits on a KT add in The Eye and i see no reason to be proud about myself for doing that).
The problem i have with boomkin and doomkin is that it's mostly starting moonkins who use those, or PvP week-end moonkins. Nice and all, but they usually don't really have the gear to be credible with that name compared to what main spec and normal dps'ers can do.
I was a moonkin/oomkin before BC came, so now i simply let my results talk for myself instead of trying to get myself some nickname :p

Yeah, I just like Moonkin better. Simple, obvious, and has a tooltip :D

I once had a guy turn me down for a 5man cuase he said "boomkins fail"
So I told him that I would out dps everyone else in that group or else ill pay each 100g.
You're my hero. This reminds me of when (nearly every heroic I do) I am above at least one of the DPS in the group on the meters as the tank. To be fair, though, druid tanks
are
teh sex.
