Their full names were "Meriwether Lewis" and "William Clark." Both did not have a middle name.
("Gable" is not William Clark's middle name. You're thinking of the American film actor William Clark Gable.)

What did President Thomas Jefferson call the group of people who went on the Lewis and clark expedition of the new land purchased?
Thomas Jefferson did not name the group himself. He commissioned only Capt. Meriwether Lewis (his Secretary of State) to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). Being that Lewis had been given full authority as leader of the expedition, he had been the one to choose Clark to join the team. Only then did they then named their team the "Corps of Discovery." From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis.
Why did Jefferson send Lewis and Clark to explore the Louisiana?
Thomas Jefferson had dreamed of exploring the West for at least 20 years before he even became President. In 1783 he had even asked Clark's brother, George, to take on the challenge. After finally purchasing the Louisiana Territory, and two weeks before inauguration day Jefferson asked Lewis, his secretary of state, to go on the journey. After Lewis was very intelligent and trustworthy, and after being given specific instructions and properly trained, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would only offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). Jefferson had given Lewis full authority as leader of the expedition, so it was Lewis who chose Clark, not Jefferson. They then named their team the "Corps of Discovery."
