I have to wonder if the inspiration for that traces somehow to ST:TNG. It does date to 1987, after all ... and Marina Sirtis's character is called by her surname (Troi) all the time on the show. So maybe some young parents who grew up with Sirtis in her tight suits and flowing curls heard the name Tro(y/i) on her for the first time, and got an impression that it was a name with feminine sex appeal. Just a theory? Because aside from that I have never heard of nor imagined Troy as even a little bit un-masculine, let alone a suitable name for a girl or woman. It evokes images of ancient warfare.
