What Is The Plural of a Plural?

Most surnames are singular, like Smith, Brown or Cameron, so if you’re say going to supper with friends with this name, you might say you’re going to the Smiths.

But what do you do, if your friends have a name that s already plural? I have friends with such a name of French origin that in French would be plural.

So what do you call them collectively?

    • They were all born in England. So they’re probably as French as I am, seeing that my moter’s family were Hugenote and came over here about 1750!
