There are two men named Bill Bass. I want to write the following two sentences. I want the two sentences below to refer to both of them, as plural, not possessive. Is this correct?
I think this should be the Bill Bass' Memorial Picnic. That way it can be a memorial to both Bill Bass'
Answer
No hard and fast rule may be possible to state, but generally, a name ending in s takes -es for the plural and where required, the apostrophe comes thereafter.
cf. "the Joneses"
I think this should be the Bill Basses' Memorial Picnic. That way it can be a memorial to both Bill Basses.
