I also really like Noor for every reason you stated. I disagree with the person who said it was not usable. Because of its similarity to Nora, I find it very usable, while still being unusual. There was a Queen Noor who happened to be American but married some foreign King (can't remember the nation) and became Queen Noor. I knew someone who named their cat Noor after her. So the name is not completely unfamiliar to me.

The only downside IMO is that is is unisex, and I normally don't like unisex names. However to me it sounds entirely feminine.

Noor Melisande, Noor Octavia and Noor Rosamund sound nice.
