Hello,

I was writing this phrase: "But if my name is between the team members" (i.e. my name is between the names of the team members), and I froze because I didn't know whether that was correct as it is
Or if it should be like this: "But if my name is between those of the team members' "
Or like this: "But if my name is between those of the team members' names"

Also, does know a good link to the rules for when and how to use the apostrophe?

Best!

Thanks Rover, that was pretty useful, but it didn't have an answer to my problem...

"But if my name is between those of the team members"

That's the safest. No apostrophe necessary.
