I love [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f]! She’s been on my longlist for a long time and, while I prefer [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] for a boy over [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] on a girl, she definitely does not get enough appreciation!!
I’m not sure on spelling, but probably something like [name_f]Lissy[/name_f] or [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f], [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] Fern; [name_f]June[/name_f] [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f], [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f]
[name_f]Floretta[/name_f], [name_f]Louvenia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], Zenaida; [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], [name_m]Pellinore[/name_m], [name_m]Theoden[/name_m], [name_f]Vivendel[/name_f]

  1. [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] is lovely; rare but familiar at the same time – mystical but also a bit like [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f].
  2. I’d probably nickname her [name_f]Lissy[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f], [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f], and Athanas

  1. I like its grandness, imagery and (possible) etymology - but I’m just not a fan of “liss” names, and this is also a bit too demanding for me somehow. Would be cool to meet someone called [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] though.
  2. Something non-lissy, so Uly, [name_f]Sissy[/name_f], [name_f]Sia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] (I like that suggestion from GB above)
  3. [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Verena[/name_f], [name_f]Domino[/name_f], [name_m]Cymbeline[/name_m], [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], [name_m]Endellion[/name_m] or [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] then brothers, [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] or [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], igby, [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Kitto[/name_m] or Whitby

I think it’s pretty and underrated!
[name_f]Ulla[/name_f] or [name_f]Sia[/name_f] would be my choice of nicknames.
[name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] :pink_heart:
I’d name her siblings [name_f]Oriana[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].

  1. She’s ok, I’d like to like her but she feels off somehow to me.
  2. Probably [name_f]Sisi[/name_f] or [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]!
  3. [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_m]Snow[/name_m], [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Megan[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]?
  4. I honestly have no clue, but I do like the ideas that others have listed, so I’ll echo those. I also think maybe [name_m]Valentine[/name_m] (for either gender, Callidore, or [name_f]Calixta[/name_f]?

Pros - [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] has a great familiar yet unique quality, and names beginning with U are so rare and eyecatching. It’s very pretty and feminine, and written down it’s striking.

Cons - I’m not sure how to pronounce [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f]? Nameberry lists it as yoo-LISH-uh, which I would not have expected. I’d have maybe said uh-liss-ee-uh or yoo-lee-see-uh, but I wouldn’t have been confident. And it could be confused with names like [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], [name_m]Elisha[/name_m], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], or [name_f]Elysia[/name_f] (which is on my short list, so I definitely see the appeal). None of this is deal breaking, but it is worth considering.

Nicknames - [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] or [name_m]Ula[/name_m]

Middle names - [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f], [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

Siblings for [name_f]Ulyssia[/name_f] - [name_m]Everard[/name_m], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_m]Idris[/name_m]
