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.
