Little Boy.
"Little Boy".
Correction : the first atomic bomb , dropped on Hiroshima , was named "Little Boy".
The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. The bomber that dropped it was nicknamed the "Enola Gay", named after the pilot's mother. Three days later, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, and the bomber in that case was "Bockscar" ("boxcar"), a pun based on the pilot's name, Bock.
If you mean the world's first nuclear explosion, the test on July 16, 1945, there was no pilot, and the bomb was not dropped. It was mounted on a steel tower and detonated by remote control, completely vaporizing the tower and turning the soil to glass for hundreds of yards from the heat.
