How do you pluralize...

Proper nouns/titles?

Like...is the plural of "Staff of Apocalypse":

1) Staves of Apocalypse
2) Staff of Apocalypses
3) Staff of Apocalypti

Or what?

    I'd go with Staves, as you are pluralizing the word "Staff", not the modifier for the staff.

    Option 2 and 3 would be for multiple apocalyptic events on a single staff.

    Yeah, definitely "staves." You don't usually pluralize modifiers in English.

    Staves of Apocalypse.

    I think this can be locked down now.

    Kind of like "passers-by" instead of "passer-bys".
