I have a friend name Noor). She pronounces it to rhyme with "poor", but when her mother speaks to her in Arabic, she calls her Nura ("NOOR-uh" is how it sounds to me).

There was an baby from a Middle Eastern country on some medical show named Noor. I'm not one hundred percent sure on the spelling (it was in the program title, but I may be remembering it wron. I heard it NOR, rhyming with "more."

I know a boy named Nor (that's how he spells it, but he's Arabic so it's the Arabic Nur for sure). Anyway, he pronounces it Noor (oo as in boot).

I know a Nur who pronounces the 'u' as in 'put' but not a Noor.

Edited to add: oops! My Nur's full name is Nurair and she is Iranian, so, etymologically, her name might have nothing to do with Noor.

In Australia, I've known one Nour and one Nor, but never a Noor. Both Nor and Nour were pronounced like 'Door'.

---

The Nor I knew had Nor Afiza as a double fn, and her younger sister was named Nor Azura.

In Dutch we know this name too, but I believe it's than a variant of Norah. Anyway, we pronouce it as 'nor'. The 'o' as in 'boat'.
