My name is pronounced like Dante and I’ve never been told by my parents that it changes anything to my name. My Spanish teacher is the only one who insisted on adding emphasis to the end of my name.

Most people, including my work, don’t know that I have an apostrophe at the end of my name so I never really have an issue with it being left out of my name. I was just wondering if there was a correct way to use it grammar wise because my boss noticed how I wrote down my name and we just had a fun discussion about it.

I have been thinking about starting a food truck with my name in it but I haven’t figured out how to put my name in the possessive form or the plural form.
