"There are many [Susies] in this class."
Is it Susies or Susie's??
When there is a plural form of names... do you add an apostrophe???

In this case, the apostrophe is unneccessary. Kinda like pencils. There are not many pencil's, but many pencils. But if something like that is just causing you to stumble in the brain, just change the way you are saying it: "Susie is a common name among the people of this class," " Many are named Susie around here," or "Thank the Lawrd I don't have too many more names to remember!"

Susies...... the apostrophe shows possession of something in its singular form, e.g. I love Susie's purse. Or, Susie's purse is cute.
Hope this helps.

Susies - apostrophes show possession, not plurals.

Rule 1 of apostrophes:
Never use an apostrophe to make a plural.
Rule 2 of apostrophes:
Read Rule 1 again and make sure you understand it.
You are now ready for possessives :o)

To be correct, our question should have been:
Which is gramatically correct?
Anyhow, Susies is the correct one.
The apostrophe shows posession.
