One of my favorite Portuguese names ever. Up there with Guilherme, Henrique, Isaque and André.
This name is pronounced like /uli.'siz/ in Portuguese. But, there is another pronunciation that belongs to some dialects in which the "S" sound at the end is left out, becoming /uli.'si/. This is the same with a lot of names that end in "S", like Lucas /lu.'kɐs/ and Elias /eli.ˈɐs/.
Also Gascon, Provençal and Languedocian: https://ieo-oc.org/spip.php?page=article&id_article=290 --- Source: Institut d'Estudis Occitans
Remember Ulisses from Clifford D. Simak's "Way Station"?
Ulisses is also the Catalan form of Ulysses.
