Semantically, we're putting the cart before the horse. Acronyms are used to describe something that has a name that would be inconvenient to describe in full. The name comes first. Creating an acronym before we have a name in use isn't going to work out, because it's not necessarily helping anyone communicate. The goal here is to get a good name, and everyone's thinking in acronyms just because those are already common. So: ignore the acronym. We talk about DragonFly, after all, not DragonFlyBSD. If Hammer is a good name (which I agree on), let's use it.
