The reason for that is 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:

  • Alexis' - Lois' - Luis'

Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word:

  • Alexis's - Lois's - Luis's

Examples:

Alexis' car is blue, Lois' car is black, and Luis' car is white.

Alexis's car is blue, Lois's car is black, and Luis's car is white.

What is the singular possessive form of Alexis?

The possessive singular of all English nouns is formed by adding -'s: Alexis's. If Alexis's seems awkward to you, you may use the Frenchified possessive "of Alexis," but never use the plural possessive form, which is to add an apostrophe after the final -s of the plural, for a singular noun.


What is the difference between Alexis' and Alexis's?

The difference is that only Alexis's is correct. The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of -'s. Singular possessives sound as if they were plurals. In the case of singular nouns already ending in -s, the possessive gains a syllable just as the plural does (compare fox / fox's: fox / foxes). Some believe and even teach (!) that the plural form is correct for singulars, but they are wrong. The proof is in the pronunciation. Since the apostrophe has no sound, Alexis' has the same number of syllables that Alexis has, and therefor it cannot be the correct possessive.
