Moe's full birth name is Moses Harry Horwitz. Curly is Jerome Lester Horwitz. Shemp was originally Samuel Horwitz (middle name unknown) - the name "Shemp" came about because that was what it sounded like when his mother said "Sam" in her heavy accent. Larry is Louis Fienberg (again, middle name unknown). I don't know Joe Besser's middle name. Joe DeRita, or Curly-Joe, was born Joseph Wardell, but took DeRita for his stage name - it was his mother's maiden name. When he joined the Stooges in their later years, he was then called Curly-Joe, due to the physical resemblance between him and Curly, and to avoid confusion with Joe Besser.
