Hi

Expecting another little one later this year. Not finding out the gender but we are thinking Noor for a girl. We are Muslim and we love the meaning in Arabic. Opinions please Smile

It's lovely. And it makes me think of Noor Inayat Khan, who was the most amazing woman.

I really like it - but when said knorr cook in sauce is what springs to mind.

I used to teach EFL and had a lot of ladies from the Middle East, I always thought Noor was a lovely name whenever I got a student in with it :-)

MangshorJhol · 29/03/2022 17:00

It’s a lovely name. I have a student called Mahnoor. Also a lovely name.

I think the is the first time I’ve seen100% support for a name!

I love it and it would be on my list if we have another DD.

I love the name. I know someone with it and she does my head in, which is annoying as it’s a lovely name.
