Consultation: "The Simpsons or Simpsons?" Plural
Alejandro:
Your question is very interesting.
In fact, foreign surnames are often not translated (for example, a English text, Roger Waters not appear translated Roger Waters), which is why we believe it is advisable to apply the same rules that apply to English surnames.
The Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of doubt says that the names remain unchanged when appointing the members of one family: last month, visited the Sosa. When used to refer to several people who have the same surname, use vacillates between maintained or pluralize as the standard.
While most English-speakers prefer to keep unchanged, is not considered wrong to use the plural, but much more frequent when the last names end in vowels that when ending in a consonant: In my work, various cheeses and two Escobar .
When pluralized, surnames ending in a consonant follow the same rules the other substantive. In the case of Simpson , which ends in-n , if a English word, the plural is formed by adding-es and, since (except in the words specimen, scheme and character ) the stressed vowel is the same in singular and plural, should act [Simpson] . For all this, we believe it is best Simpson.
One last fact: the names ending in-z always remain unchanged ( the Lopez and Marquez ).
