The grammar poll is officially closed.

Question: How do you correctly punctuate his name when used in the possessive form?

The results:

"Davis's birthday" = 4 votes (11%)

"Davis' birthday" = 26 votes (76%)

"Either is correct" = 4 votes (11%)


Total number of votes: 34

It seems that Davis can look forward to a lifetime of people calling him David, people thinking his first name is actually his last name, and people punctuating his name incorrectly 22% of the time. You're welcome, son.
