Re: Troy on a girl?
in reply to a message by Caprice
This is only half a memory ... in a series of British detective novels, and I can't remember either the author or the main character, there is an artist named Agatha Troy who always goes by Troy. (I'm thinking the author may well have been Ngaio Marsh, in which case she was originally from New Zealand.) So in the world of the books, it would have been a ln used as a fn, perhaps to avoid the then-dated Agatha.
