Contractions on a proper noun
Hello.
I'm wondering if there is a correct way to write a contraction on a proper noun. For example: "Bob is going to leave" contracted to some form of "Bob's going to leave". I'm aware of the procedure for this using pronouns, but am not sure if that procedure holds for proper nouns as well.
Thanks.

Yes, the structure is the same, but keep in mind that this is just a way of transcribing the spoken language, not an authorized spelling system.
