They both appear to be feminine names. What's the context?

As bhaisahab said, they're both feminine names. In the context you provided, sissy has other meanings. Have you tried to look it up? I suggest OneLook Dictionary Search.

Use a full stop to end a sentence - not =).

I have told you this before. Please don't repeat the same mistakes.

A better title for your thread would have been Molly and Sissy.

I have never heard "Mollly" used as anything other than a girl's (woman's) name in the U.S. Perhaps in other dialects of English is means the same as sissy, but if you called a man "a big molly" I'd have no idea what you mean.

(1) In the 1700's in England, there were molly houses. Gay men (they were

not called that in those days) could meet others in such places, which were

usually taverns. Of course, the police (who were not organized as such in those

early days) would regularly raid the houses and arrest the men.

(2) In those days, gay men were sometimes hanged, or they were put in

stocks (boards with holes for their arms and legs). Then people would throw

dead cats and dogs at them, thus sometimes killing the men.

(3) I have read this information in books. Of course, the Web also has much info

about this matter.
