Just about every Missy I've known has been a total tom-boy.

Aha.

You're in Canada, whereas I grew up in the US, close to the South. Missy is a very Southern / Country name around here, so that is what I picture.

That does make more sense. Truth be told, I don't think I have ever known a single Missy, so it's just a stereotype absorbed from wwho-knows-where.

With Missy as a full name or nickname? I've always assumed it was a nickname for Melissa.
