What is the difference between these three statements:

- The Dylans'
- The Dylans
- The Dylan's

Essentially, which one of the above is the correct wording for personalizing an ornament for a home?!

If just announcing who lives there, then B
If their family name is 'Dylans' or there are more than one in the 'Dylan' family and you are stating ownership, then A
If 'The Dylan' is a singular being ('The Boss', 'The King') and you are stating ownership, then C
