I've also known a Sarah called Cissie, but also a Davina - & I think that might be a diminutive for sister.

Hi Jean,
My gran Elizabeth Haldane was called Cissy .I had a look to find out if it was a diminutive and best I could find was Cecillia .It certainly wasn't as a sister as my Grandfather also called her Cissy .
Happy hunting,

I have been called sissy on a number of occasions and I’m a man.
The last time was when I went white and weak at the knees when a nurse tried to shove a needle in my bottom.
