"...
Hari means "the remover" and refers to the one who removes troubles, blockages, pain and bondages. Hari is also a name given in Hindu mythology to the god, Vishnu, who was himself the remover of bondages. It is said that repeating this name will erase sins, bad karma and suffering.

Om, on the other hand, is the primordial sacred syllable which encapsulates the whole of the universe and all of creation. Om is said to be the only mantra that has the potential to effortlessly bring the seeker into a state of samadhi.

I believe that Hari, as a stand-alone name, has already been used.
As such Hari Om does constitute as a valid name of person, eg., the name of the father of Canadian-Indian actor Akshay Kumar aka Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, but after carefully listening the song I admit it does not refer to a person's name here. It is used as a sacred chant as explained by you.

I apologize for my vacuous guess.
