HelpRe: Odysseus and Ulysses
in reply to a message by Azula
Hi !!!!
Here in Italy we have two further forms: Odisseo (o-dees-SE-o) and Ulisse (oo-LEES-se).
Odysseus in nice because it is the original form.
Odisseo is still used just in few dated books.
Ulysses is the Latin form but I prefer the English pronounciation for it.
Ulisse is increasing very slowly in popularity (just 32 Ulisse born in 2017).
I think that the meaning disappears if we compare to the tryumphant (both positive and negative) fame of the myth.
I would be glad and proud to use Ulisse or a child because this name carries a ton of beautiful stories that are the basis of our culture (here in Italy at least Ancient Greek & Roman myths are well-known).

Odisseo sounds cool to me, but it probably sounds dated in Italy.
