   How do you make a plural last name?

   • A few simple rules help you remember how to make a last name plural. The first rule to remember about creating a plural last name is “never use an apostrophe -s.” An apostrophe -s shows ownership of something, not multiples of something. If the name ends in a consonant, create a plural using the addition of -s at the end of the name. For example:

   How do you write a last name in a letter?

   • Always write someone's last name out in full, whether Williams or Garcia. In this step, simply tack something onto the end of a fully written out last name. In most cases, you only have to add an S to the end of their entire last name—even if the last letter is y. You rarely need an apostrophe when signing or addressing cards.

   How do you make a name a possessive name?

   • You could take the easy way out and write just that, or you could opt for, “The party will be held at the Joneses’ house.” Simply tack an apostrophe onto the end of a plural name to make it possessive.

   How do you write a last name with an X sound?

   • Pay attention to whether you can hear the x sound. For last names ending in an x sound, add es. For last names ending with a silent x, add an s. Examples: When pluralizing common nouns that end in y, we drop the y and add ies. Likewise, for words ending in i, we add es. That’s how puppy becomes puppies and chili becomes chilies.

   Do you need an apostrophe for a last name?

   • Rules for using an apostrophe can be confusing! No doubt you’ve seen people create a plural last name by adding an apostrophe—like the Jones’ or the Paulson’s. This is incorrect. “To make a simple plural, no apostrophe is needed: Muellers, Changs, Sanchezes,” McLendon says.

   How do you make a last name plural & possessive?

   • The rule goes like this: If your name ends in s, x, z, ch, or sh, add -es to the end. Walsh becomes Walshes, and Malkovich becomes Malkoviches. For all other endings, simply add -s to the end (as in Smiths, Whites, Johnsons, etc). Of course, things get a little trickier when you want to make a last name plural and possessive.
