Was there an official name for the bomb detonated in the Manhattan Project
score:7
Accepted answer
From the entry on the Trinity test:
The test was of an implosion-design plutonium device, informally nicknamed "The Gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945.
The name is quite fitting as you can see from this picture at The Manhatten Project, an Interactive History
