The atomic bombs dropped on the two cities in Japan were named 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man'. It is believed the 'Fat Man' was named after Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of England at the time. The name 'Little Boy' may have referred to Franklin Roosevelt.

What was the name of the atomic bombs?
Nobody. They were called Fatman (the Plutonium implosion MK-III bomb) and Little Boy (the Uranium gun MK-I bomb) because of their shapes. There is some mythology that the codenames Little Boy was named after FDR and Fatman was named after Winston Churchill to mislead spies into thinking that the "Silverplate" modified B-29s were being modified to transport those leaders, not a new type of bomb. But this is contradicted by the codename Thin Man (the Plutonium gun MK-II bomb) whose design was canceled before beginning work on the Fatman design. Thin Man would have fit FDR much better than Little Boy did and Little Boy could not have been named for Winston Churchill.

The atomic bomb was first developed by a team of scientists in the United States under the direction of Robert Oppenheimer in a project called the Manhattan project (named after the location where much of the work took place). The project was aided by Great Britain and Canada and took 6 years from inception in 1939 (initiated by a letter from Albert Einstein to President Roosevelt warning of German research in nuclear fission), and culminating in the first successful detonation of an atomic device in New Mexico in 1945.It should be noted, however, that the British did, in fact, first discover the properties of nuclear fission in Uranium235 in 1939, on which the first atomic bomb was based.
