From Quiz: "Lonesome Dove", The Mini-Series
Answer: Joshua
His name is given at least twice. It is on Gus's sign as Joshua and it is on Deets' tombstone as Josh. Although it was not shown in the movie, in the book it took a lot of thinking back in time to remember that he had a name besides Deets. He tried to remember it because his name was so much shorter than the others on Gus's sign. His name was the only on the sign that had last name first, because Gus had already put Deets on it. It read, "Deets, Joshua".
