The United States hasn't tested a nuclear device for many years, but in the past each bomb and its associated test both had their own independent code names, and later a codename for each weapon and a test series. While many milestone tests and bombs' codenames have been declassified, many others have not.
A good source for some of the bigger key tests is the movie "Trinity & Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie". It was released on DVD several years ago, and is an excellent documentary on most of the key weapons tests performed by the U.S., Russian and China.. As one who worked with nuclear weapons in the Navy, you don't really get an idea of the scale of devastation until you see the test blasts on film. I've included a link to some of the YouTube video clips on the movie below.
The best single source of codenames for US tests, series, devices, components, etc. is Chuck Hansen's work Swords of Armageddon. You can either buy it directly on the net or have your library get it for you on interlibrary loan.
