Couldm it possibly be "Mo Dun" (pronounced "muh doon"). "Dun" is the Irish word for fort or fortified place i.e. a place of strength. So it may be that the speaker was calling his girl friend "my rock" or "my steadfast one." Seems to make more sense than "my brown" because "donn" in Irish is an adjective and would be accompanied by a noun.
