Oh, Cis, You’re Breaking My Heart, You’re …

Yes, I have for years wish I had a different first name. It is Cecelia. Which I got tormented with “Cecil the sea serpent”, and “Does you mother know where you are at, Ceceliaaaaaaaaaaa.” Then Simon & Garfunkel came out with Cecelia. Which I loved, until I hear the phase … “I got up to wash my face, and found someone else in my place with Ceceliaaaaaaaa” In my life time I have met 3 Cecelia’s … and only one Cis beside myself … and two Cissy (my childhood nickname, which I hated). All of this was brought on by my English grandmother. Whose name was Cecelia and had the nickname of Cis … Which was thrown on to me by her daughter..my mother. Who had a common name of Mary Elizabeth. Now you know the rest of the story …

Cis (aka, Cecilia)
