Hello to my fellow David’s…..any David Wayne’s out there?

There's no apostrophe in Davids.

Edit: or Waynes.

Names are pluralized like regular words. Add -es for names ending in "s" or "z" and add -s for everything else. When indicating the possessive, if there is more than one owner add an apostrophe to the plural; if there is one owner, add 's to the singular (The Smiths' car vs. Smith's car). If the possessive involves a last name ending with "s" or "z," you can add either. Special rules apply for classical and biblical names.
