I like this name for a boy. It's a nice alternative to the common Noah (although I like that name). It doesn't sound very feminine to me, though. I'd use Naomi or Noemi for a girl.
I love Chomsky, and I love the name Noam when pronounced as two syllables. (No big surprise that the person who left racist and classist comments all over this website hates Chomsky, btw.)

The association with Noam Chomsky is great, as he is a bit of a genius, everything the American leftists need to represent them.

The name Noam was given to 105 baby boys born in the US in 2012. It's a nice alternative to Noah, which is far too overused.
I really like this name. It sounds more polished than just Noah, and a little bit different without being too odd. I would certainly consider this as a name for a son if I had one.
The name is correctly pronounced as NOH-ahm. That is, if you call the normal Hebrew pronunciation correct. The GNOME one is an American mutation, probably.
