What were the nick names of the first two atomic bombs?

Answer #1

Was it Cuddly and Boo-Boo? I just did a little research and I see that the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nicknamed “Little Boy” and “Fat Man”. What the hell were they thinking? I was pretty close with my guess of Cuddly and Boo-Boo. Shouldn’t an atomic bomb have an appropriate nick name like “Death Bringer” or “Grim Reaper”? Look how they name cars - Mustang, Stingray, Colt. There are no cars called the Honda Slug or the Chrysler Wombat. Imagine if they released a new sports car…the Ford Fat Man twin turbo, I’m rushing out to buy one…not.
