Proper nouns (names) form their possessive that same as common nouns do.
A singular noun forms the possessive by adding and apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the word: Carol's
Example: I borrowed Carol's car.
There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: Jess'
Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: Jess's
Examples:
I borrowed Jess' car.
I borrowed Jess's car.
A plural noun that ends with an s forms the possessive by adding an apostrophe (') only to the end of the word: Kennedys'
Example: I borrowed the Kennedys'limo.
