Origin, sound and short forms
Our story of Eulis
The boy who became General Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant and called Ulysses at home. When a congressman nominated him to West Point, he wrote the name down as Ulysses S. Grant, guessing a middle initial from his mother's family name; the Academy would not change its records, and Grant kept the name, S and all. Eulis, whether it came from Ulysses or from a family name, is short and easy, with a soft start.
