If a name ends in (s), you will show possession with an ('s). Examples: James's son Tonks's wand Crookshanks's tail
For singular possession, add an apostrophe followed by an s to names ending in s (e.g., James's car). For plural possession, simply add an apostrophe after the s (e.g., the Joneses' house).
When a name ends with an s, you can use an apostrophe followed by an s ('s) to indicate possession. For example, "Charles's book" or "James's car." However, if the name is plural and already ends with an s, you can just use an apostrophe (') to show possession, like "the girls' toys" or "the Smiths' house."
No, the correct spelling is Pele without an apostrophe. The use of the accent mark over the 'e' in Pele is to ensure the correct pronunciation of the name.
Styles vary, with some styles adding apostrophe S (e.g. Chris's or Jones's), especially where both the existing and the new S are sounded (sounds like the plurals Chrises and Joneses).Others, notably the AP Style Guide, use only an apostrophe (e.g. Thomas' or Bliss') but still add the pronunciation as another S sound.
If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe. example: Tom's brother is James. James' brother is Tom.
When showing possession for a last name ending in "s," the use of an apostrophe depends on the style guide you follow. Both "Jones'" and "Jones's" are considered correct. However, it is more common in modern usage to simply add an apostrophe after the "s" (Jones').

Yes. An apostrophe is used with the names that end with s. Examples: Ross' bag or Ross's bag Cris' watch
You use an apostrophe after a person's name to show possession of the object that follows the name, e.g., "This is John's hat," or "These are Mary's opinions." If the name already ends in an s, this is what you write: "This is James' magic bag." Compared to: "This is Kragen's magic bag."
