What is the correct way to make a name plural
If a name ends in an s, what is the correct way to make it plural?
Top answer
The general rule is add -es. For some names ending in the sound 'z' (as in buzz), the plural may be the same as the singular. The name Jones becomes the plural Joneses which uses the regular -es ending.
