Opinions on the name Noor for baby girl

[modestmama]

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

I love it! All the ones I've known have been lovely as well.

I love it! I know a Noor and it's a really beautiful name.

It’s a gorgeous name.

I was going to say only OK if you're ofaan appropriate heritage lol but since you are - crack on!
Lovely name and meaning

My friend is Nour, said the same but I prefer the spelling tbh

It's beautiful

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

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 :-)

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

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

Beautiful name.

Kohinoor diamond. Currently owned by the Queen.

I like the name Noor, it's pretty.

Am muslim love Noor.

Thank you all so much for your comments. It seems like Noor is a definite YES then which is great! So happy to hear everyone loves it. I agree, it’s very beautiful and sounds so classic. Makes me even more set on it now if little one is a girl

No it reminds me of the stock pots.

There is always one - ignore.

Lots of people don't realise that lots of Arabic names are mainstream.

Beautiful name.

It’s pronounced NOOO-r (like moo) not Knorr. How can it remind you of Knorr?

It’s lovely

It is just lovely - elegant, yet sweet for a child. Easy to spell and pronounce and with a great heritage and meaning.

It's more like the word awe than moo.

It's a beautiful name, OP. I love it. Native English speakers do tend to pronounce it as Nor rather than Nour/Noor though (with a shorter vowel sound), which isn't quite as lovely. And, depending on where you live, may drop the r completely eg southern UK non-rhotic accents.

It’s really lovely.

It’s beautiful. I know of a couple of people with the name and they pronounce it differently. One ore and the other oor. I think it’s beautiful however it’s spelt or pronounced.

It's beautiful - classic and elegant. Also very easy to spell and pronounce for non-Muslims if that's a consideration!

How do you pronounce it?
