Eulices (m).  I'm guessing it's pronounced like Ulysses.  I'm not a huge fan of Ulysses, but this spelling is just horrible imo. WDYT?

I agree that spelling is atrocious! Ugh! WHY?!?

I just wanted to say Eustace and had a problem pronouncing it!

I read it as Eustace, too. XD

Ulysses is an awesome name, but that spelling is ridiculous and unnecessary.

Well... seeing as it's the SPANISH spelling of the name I guess it's fine...

Is it really? When I first saw it I thought that maybe it was a variation, but I didn't come up with anything when I Googled it, or on any of the usual name databases I use, so I assumed it was merely a "kreative" spelling. Of course it's perfectly fine if it's an established name. Although I still don't like it, I don't like the original Ulysses either.

lol yup it is! My philosophy teacher in high school was actually named Eulices and it's just the spanish version of Ulysses =)

Both Eulices and Ulysses are awful in my opinion.

I second this motion.

I've only encountered Ulysses as a middle name (interestingly, the person's first name was Abraham). I don't mind it, but I'd be more likely to use it on a pet than a human.

This spelling isn't that bad, really. I read the comments that it's the Spanish spelling, so I don't see anything wrong with it. If they'd spelled it phonetically with a bunch of Y's, then I'd hate it.
