Ulysses is the hero of the Odyssey. According to Homer, thanks to whom a large part of classical history has come down to us, its etymology means "the one who hates", "the one who bears a grudge". Ulysses comes from the Greek Odysseus (hater), which comes from the root dys (hate). Odysseus was the name of the hero of the Odyssey. He was a king of Ithaca and a Greek leader in the Trojan War.
Ulysses is "the indignant one", because of the repulsion that manifested his maternal grandfather on the day of his birth. The graphic form in which Ulysses has derived is due to the influence of the Etruscan. The Hellenized form of Ulysses is Odysseus.

My name is Melissa and I want to name a son Ulysses and call him Lissy. Melissa has many nicknames is Lissy is one of them.
My first son's name was Saul and my next son's name was Claude so I'm pretty sure no one is going to stop me from naming my 3rd son Ulysses.
never met anybody else with my name.people often spell it wrong or say it wrong.
I was named after my grandfather, who changed the original spelling from Ulyess to Uless. His name was supposedly drawn from Ulysses S. Grant. He used to get mail addressed to Useless on occasion.
I love the name! I have loved it ever'since I was in high school lit and my fantastic teacher read the last few lines of the poem "Ulysses". To strive, To seek, To find And not to yield. It has always held a tone with me. I think it is a powerful name and even'though it means wrathful it is still good. Wrathful can be interpreted in several ways and means next to nothing without context. Ulysses is a great name.

It was my grand father's name,and,due in no small part to the eccentricities of rural African Americans he was given'the opportunity to pick it himself.... go figure. I recently made it his great grandson's middle name: Andrew Ulysses Brown. wrathful warrior, neat huh❤️! However It's always been pronounced U-La-sees in our family.
Ulysses is my dear son. he is often called "useless" this usually happens with little kids, when'they can't really pronounce his name. Every one laughs. oh well. is not a big deal is just curious. I love this name. And when someone asks him what his name is, he always answers my name is Ulysses, im in the $50.00 dollar bill" ...

My husband has the'spanish version spelled "Ulises" his usual nickname is Uli. We want to name our expectant son with Ulises as a middle name but I'm having a hard time finding a first name that I really like that goes well. Besides that, I love his name and It'suits him well.
It's a Unique name, most of the time people usually pronounce it wrong. The right way to say it is "U ly sse s" but in my name there's no s at the end this is the European way to write it. Same origin Greek.
My 2nd son is a 3rd generation Ulysses after his father who is named after his father. It is usually mispronounced, but he handles it well. he's only 7 years old, but he owns his name and humbly corrects people. My mom would always tell me, "Your name is the most important thing about you." His name means wrathful or angry, and I teach him to be angry with injustice and wicked behaviors. Your child's name means whatever you instill in them as their worth to the world. Thank you, MississippI'mother
I bow down humbly in the prsecene of such greatness.

I'm from Turkey, so there is not much of a chance for me to get away with naming my child as great of a name like Ulysses but I'd like to chip in my two cents, who cares about the initial bullying I was teased for my surname for my entire life, It's no big deal, that's an awesome name.
