Welcome to AHS luseifer
Ayumi Hamasaki's real name is Ayumi. Her use of Kurumi was discussed here:

I think the name Ayumi does mean steps or walking. You'll have to ask masa or another Japanese speaker for a complete explanation.
-edit-
I found a link with an explanation of Ayumi:
Quote:
"AYUMI" has a meaning of "walk "
When my parents named me, they hoped I could walk my own way.
