I don't like it at all. It seems very dated to me, and for some reason it also seems very country and western-ish.

I don't enjoy geographical names or lnfns, so it's out on two counts.

I love Troy! I don't care about High School Musical. Zac Efron isn't really a bad association - he's pretty nice to look at even if he is ten years younger than me...
My main association with Troy (besides ancient Greece, of course, which is a big plus) is this hotness:http://gensopedia.duefiumi.com/index.php?title=TroyWhen I played the game I didn't want him to die at the end, so I put off advancing the plot for a loooooong time. Heh.

I love the name Troy but I am very bias, my name is Tracy and my brother is Troy. I really do like they name its functional as a child and an adult. It is not too trendy but at the same time its not too out there.

I hate it. It sounds like a dumb jock name, and it's been ruined for me by High School Musical.

I love anthing associated with ancient history. So the city of Troy should be a positive association for me. Unfortunately, I've never been able to get 1950's teen idol Troy Donohue out of my head. I associate the name Troy therefore with plastic, superficial, trendy pop culture without the interesting post-60's bits. I put Troy in the same category of names as Biff and Rock. I wish I didn't.

Funny you should say that. My brother worked with a guy who had three sons, two of whom were named Troy and Buddy. The third one was called Rocky or something. These names stuck out in 1990s Ireland as you can imagine.

dated - very 70s-80s. Not nice. Sorry.

I don't know why, but I've never really liked it.I've met a few great guys named Troy, and I just can't get it. I have no idea why, it just is a horrible name to me, although I honestly have no clue why. I would never use it.

I associate the name with dogs, mainly because when I was little, I always said if I had a German Shepherd, I'd name him Troy. Weird, but true.
