Has anyone come across the use of the name Cissie as a term for a sister?

Yes, my step-grandma was always called Cissie because she had half a dozen brothers. When I researched her she was actually called Sarah Jane.

I've jsut remembered that I had a distant cousin who was referred to as Cissie. I've just checked my tree and find that her parents had two daughters who might fit -  Beatrice and an Elsie.
