Apostrophe's used with proper nouns

I have a question about the use of contractions with a proper name.  For example, if I wanted to say/write "Jeff is funny" could I also write/say it as "Jeff's funny" with the use of an apostrophe?  If no, what is the rule that defines the use of this?

Thanks in advance! Jamie
