What is the plural of Chris?

Question:

Answers:
the "es" thing i dont think applies cause thats for a common noun, not a proper one. i think its Chris's. cause the possessive would be Chris' without that last s.
The rule, a word that ends in "s" add "es" so Chrises would be correct.

The plural of proper names that end in "s" DO add "es" it makes no difference whether it is a proper noun or not.
It would be better to say "they were both named Chris" or "all the people named Chris" then to say there are a lot of Chrises
many chriss ran about.
many chris ran about.
many chrises ran about.

chris sounds good by itself. but chrises.. is supposed to be grammatically correct.
There is no way that you put 'es' at the end that's only if the word was noun or something, but a name that ends in a 's' no all you add is an apostrophe and an 's', if you were trying to show ownership than you would just add an apostrophe but there is already an 's' on then end of the word.
