Its not named after an atomic bomb explosion, its named after an atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean where the US did several nuclear tests.

The bikini.

However its probably more likely it was named after the atoll when americans saw women in newsreels of the islanders wearing a similar garment, and has no direct connection to the atomic bomb testing.
