How do you pluralize a name ending in s?
Names are pluralized like regular words. Add -es for names ending in “s” or “z” and add -s for everything else. When indicating the possessive, if there is more than one owner add an apostrophe to the plural; if there is one owner, add ‘s to the singular (The Smiths’ car vs. Smith’s car).
When a name ends in s and is possessive?
The general rule is that the possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and s, whether the singular noun ends in s or not. The possessive of a plural noun is formed by adding only an apostrophe when the noun ends in s, and by adding both an apostrophe and s when it ends in a letter other than s.

Which is the correct spelling lucas’or Lucas’s?
Phonetically, what you want to say is “Lucases”. To me, that’s Lucas’s — Lucas’ looks as though it should be pronounced “Lucas”. Incidentally, the extra s is more traditional in British English (eg St James’s Palace), except (I think) for Greek names, maybe Latin ones too.
What’s the difference between a Lucca and a Luca?
Luca is our favroite spelling, with Lucca (my dad likes it and my sisters do too) a not so close second. We honestly have no issues with Luca at all. If his name was Luca, we would probably call him Luca 99% of the time. If his name is Lucca, we would never call him Luke because I think the two ‘C’s make the name too far away from Luke.
Do You Call Your Baby Luke or Lucca?
If his name is Lucca, we would never call him Luke because I think the two ‘C’s make the name too far away from Luke. I also think people who don’t know Lucca, would have issues spelling his name. I did as a child because my name is Sahvannah with an extra ‘H’.
