What are your opinions on this girl's name.

I think it's lovely. Prefer it for a girl.

Which country do you / will they live in ?

I am in England, and Noah is a well known name for a boy, which has been fairly popular for quite a while.
I therefore wouldn't use Noa here, as she will spend her whole life saying "Noa, without an h on the end. Yes, N. O. A. Yes, that is it. Yes, I am a girl / woman. Yes, it is usually a boy's name" EVERY TIME she has to give her name. It would get very tedious.

If you live elsewhere, then that might not happen.

I love it and prefer it for a girl than a boy. I'm not keen on traditional names and like something a bit different. I also like James for a girl rather than a boy.

It's a Maori word too. It means ordinary, or status quo or free from restrictions/rules of 'tapu' (tapu is a kind of social or civic restriction)
