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.

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.
