HelpRe: Odysseus and Ulysses
in reply to a message by Azula
I don't like Ulysses. Odysseus is the proper true form of the name to me. I typically prefer original Greek forms over Roman alterations and I'm not keen on U- as a first letter either.
Like you, I think it's nice how he's a smart hero in Homeros' epic, but I never really sympathized with the character myself. The meaning ruins the name. There's nothing cool or likable about it.

The meaning somewhat bothers me to, but you have to remember that it was given to the character Odysseus because he was hated by the gods, most notably Poseidon.
I appreciate meanings but they’re not a deal breaker to me.
