Sorry if i did something wrong as this is the first time i use the forum function, But I want to hear what you guys think. Cause by his Katakana, it's written as ハマー, which means Hummer. Hammer's spelling in Katakana is ハンマー btw.
As a proof, here's a wiki of a certain vehicle with that name in Japanese.

It could also simply be "hama". His twitter account name is "hamaororon". The "ororon" part refers to the name of his blog. The "hama" part must refer to his name, ハマー. If he actually intended his name to be "hummer" or "hammer" I would expect his twitter account to be named "hummerororon" or "hammerororon" instead of what it actually is.
Also note that while "Hummer" is one well-known reading of ハマー thanks to the car brand, it is not the only possible reading. For example, there's a city in Syria named "Hama" which is spelled as ハマー in Japanese: ハマー (都市) And the name of M.C. Hammer is spelled with ハマー in Japanese: M.C.ハマー You can find more such examples on the Wikipedia disambiguation page for ハマー
So we can't just assume that it's Hummer, unless the artist gives that romanization somewhere.
