Claus or Clauses

The name of the place in Finland is Santa Claus Village (no apostrophe).

My book says, "I'm going to visit Santa Claus' Village.." with apostrophe. How should I pronounce this?

If you do not wish to confuse it with Santa Claus Village, then use 'Clause's'.

Thank you.

Would you say Claus' is a mistake? This is how it is written in my book so I am confused about the pronunciation.

Sort of. That mode of making the possessive form of a singular noun that ends in 's' is now limited in most style guides to only a few standard classical names (Jesus', Moses', Socrates') at most. The current rule is to go by pronunciation rather than vice versa: if it is pronounced as an extra syllable, then punctua

So would the pronunciation be:

Jesus sandals not Jesuses sandals
Moses friend not Moseses friend
Socrates idea not Socrateses idea.
Santa Claus Village not Santa Clauses Village.

Original sentence as written in my book:
"I'm going to Santa Claus' Village with my friend."

The problem is orthography, not pronunciation. Pronounce them in a reasonable fashion. For example I pronounce both Jesus' and Jesus's as /dzi:z?s?z/.

Whenever a name ends in "s" and you are pronouncing its possessive form (when it has an apostrophe), it's always smart to pronounce the extra "es".

If you pronounce Claus' like Claus, then people will think you are saying Santa Claus Village, not possessive. So pronounce it Clauses.
