No, Hamuko is only a fan name given to her by the Japanese players. This is from the Megami Tensei Wiki:
"She is dubbed as MShe/FeMC/Minako Arisato by U.S. fans and Hamuko (ハム子 / 公子) by Japanese fans, loosely interpreting the last Kanji character for shujinkou (主人公) as Katakana. This refers to the early official P3P screen shot in which her name is written "主人 公子" or Shujin Kouko (with "ko" as a usual suffix for female names). Users of the 2ch forum and Pixiv (much like Elfwood) suggests that her appearance is reminiscent of the cute fictional hamster named Hamtaro."
