What's included in the Troy worksheet

Letters to trace: 4; Capital T + 3 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #532; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

There is real practice in Troy without it being daunting: all 4 of its letters are different, mixing familiar shapes with one or two that reward a second pass. The diagonal strokes in “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. It starts with a capital “T” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. Because Troy was the #532 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Troy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Troy:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Troy is a one-tall-letter name: the capital T owns the top guide line, and the rest of the word sits low. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

At four letters, Troy sits on the short side — 257 names here share that length, and only 60 are shorter. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 443 of the 965 boys' names.

Troy was the #532 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Troy

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Troy feel easier.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Troy is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Give Troy its height song: “tall, small, small, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
With a name as quick to trace as Troy, keep one line in reserve for a slow, careful showpiece attempt at the end.
End every session the same way: one Troy on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Troy always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Troy fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Troy print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
