The names Little Boy & Fat Man were military codenames, picked originally so that if they leaked to the enemy might sound like they were designing a custom airplane to carry FDR (Little Boy) & Churchill (Fat Man).

The general codename for Fat Man practice bombs carrying no plutonium was Pumpkin bombs. Several of these were dropped on Japanese cities in late july and early august to keep the crews in practice before the live bombs arrived.
