How Troy sounds
The single syllable of Troy gives it a crisp, uncluttered sound. The last sound of Troy is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Its clipped, bright consonants make Troy sound like fire to the ear. Recent U.S. birth records show Troy used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. Troy appears mainly as a boy's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Troy starts on T, D, N, L or R, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the fire group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Troy carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Troy earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Troy would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, Troy reads as a name from their own element; for Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, as a companion. Troy is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its fire sound.
