It is used as a nickname for men with the sound "Nori" in their name, such as Noriaki, Hidenori, and Yasunori. It gives the impression of a middle-aged man in management who was on the football team in high school. They are also sometimes called "Nori-san" as a term of endearment.

For people mentioning the seaweed Nori: it is easily distinguishable from the name Nori in Japanese, because it is written differently. Nori seaweed is 海苔、the name is 典 (or written with other kanji distinct from the sushi wrap).

Nori was used as a girl's name back in the olden days. Based on some research that I've done (gathering names from passenger lists and US census data), Nori was a very uncommon name to have in the late Edo period and the Meiji & Taishō periods.
2 syllable names were preferred at the time, more so before the Meiji period, which is why Nori was seen as a girl's name. Towards the 2nd half of the Meiji period and the Taishō period, those types of names were quickly shunted out in popularity by names ending in *ko.

There is a Japanese teacher at my school named Noriko [so Nori + the ko 'child' ending], so I imagine this name can be feminine as well.

Nori is a nice name. It can be used as a name for a girl (by itself). I met a Japanese girl called 'Nori Namikawa', so it's not just a boy's name.

It also means "dried seaweed" in Japanese (the one you can find in sushi).
