Wexford / Re: Is the name Ciss or Cissie a real name

@KGarrad

Ok so perhaps an over-generalisation; I'll rephrase as Cissy typically was just the pet name for the oldest girl in a Catholic family and bore little relationship with her birth name.

Cissy just means she was the oldest girl.

It has no relationship to their birth name.

Likewise with Sonny for boys.
