The three that people usually think of are:

Moe Howard
Curly Howard
Larry Fine

Then there's the other vastly inferior stooges who took Curly's place after he died (however, in Shemp's case, he was the third stooge for a few years before Curly and then for ten years after Curly's death):

Shemp Howard
Joe Besser
Joe DeRita
