Comment left Sep 07, 2008: "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." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 14, 2008: "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" ..."

Comment left Mar 19, 2008: "While Ulysses is not a name heard often, I am surprised at how many people (in the U.S.)have never heard of it given the fact that Homer's Odyssey (in which Ulysses is the hero) is required reading for 9th graders, not to mention they had a president and Civil War hero in Ulysses S. Grant, who also happens to be featured on the $50 dollar bill.
Come think of it, I am not so surprised as Americans are notorious for their lack of culture when it comes to Geography and World History, or their own history for that matter.
At any rate, I think this is a cool name, especially if you know its history." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 02, 2007: "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" (Report as inappropriate)
