Do you use an apostrophe after a first name ending in s?

No. you don't need to unless you are talking about something they own. Ex. I saw Alexis. I took Alexis's bike. Hope that helps. :)

I will add to the above by saying that at one time it was common to indicate possession regarding nouns ending in "s" by simply adding an apostrophe after the "s" without an additional "s". Therefore the above example would have taken the form "...Alexis' bike", and would have been considered acceptable under grammatical rules of the day.

Like much of English grammer, this rule made little sense and was based more on whimsy than logic. In this case, however, logic eventually prevailed, and today the possessive case of nouns ending in "s" is formed in the same manner as nouns ending in any other letter - by adding apostrophe "s".
