The genitive (possessive) singular of all English nouns is formed by adding -'s, regardless of the spelling. The only exceptions are Jesus and Moses, which may form the genitive with the apostrophe alone.

Following the "double s rule" (e.g. Joneses) would indicate an -es plural for names such as "Mankiewicz", which would become "Mankiewiczes". The plural of such names, however, creates yet another double sibilant, so the possessive would likely be "Mankiewiczes'..."

Nouns (names) that end with a -z form their plural as any singular noun, by adding and apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the word.

Examples:

I placed an apple on Mrs. Diaz's desk.

Fritz's car was parked next to a hydrant.

Nouns (common or proper) ending with -z form the plural by adding -es. Examples:

  • one Hernandez; two Hernandezes
  • one Diaz; two Diazes
  • one Chaz; two Chazes
  • one quiz; too many quizes
  • one waltz; many waltzes

The plural forms for proper nouns (names) are the same as for common nouns. The rule for nouns ending with z (as well as s, sh, ch and x) is to add -es to form the plural: Martinez to Martinezes.
