I’d pronounce it “Troytha”. Please don’t saddle a child with such a difficult name, though.

It sounds vaguely Gaelic where the gh and th are silent. In which case it would be pronounced ‘Troy’, but don’t spell it that way, please.

Just reading it on sight I pronounced it Trot high. It’s a very odd name, imho
