An ad hominem is a fallacy because the conclusion is based on some trait of the arguer and not the merit of the argument. Merely name calling ISN'T and ad hominem - it's just name calling. You can call it an 'ad hominem attack' but that's just a overly wordy way to say 'name calling'. It's dumb.
Definition of ad hominem (Entry 1 of 2)
1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
an ad hominem argument
2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
made an ad hominem personal attack on his rival
