DH has a cousin named Nuria. I like it; I think it's lovely. :)

I think its pretty. I think for my use I would have to spell it Nuria without the accent, which I understand is acceptable as well. Its also great to have a nickname like Nur.

I feel like I have heard this name before, but cannot remember where, though I am sure I saw it without the accent - as Nuria.

I like it.

Simple. Easy to say, easy to pronounce and lilting on the tongue. Its got a solid base to it without giving off a certain masculinity. It has little frill, but is feminine enough to be lovely. I would use it.

---

I would point out though, that it does not seem standard or traditional (which you may like) ... so I would categorize it with legit, but not recognizably so, names like:
Seren, Amzi, Desta, Bayar, Emer, Olin, etc...

Nuria reminds me of urea - it's that ur followed quickly with the -ia sound, even though I think Nuria's said 'noo-re-ah'. I'm also kinda biased... -ria is probably my least favourite of the -ia name endings, it just sounds medical to me.

Maybe if I came across it in the wild I'd like it more!

Nuri is pretty, but in a kind of scrappy, stoic, bitchy way. I think it looks pretty, and would fit well in a fantasy or game setting, but I just get a negative impression of the kind of character/person that would have the name well in advance of actually seeing it in use... if that makes sense...

I love it! My Spanish friend (we met as pen pals in college) is actually named Núria, and she's so nice that the name just makes me think of her.
It's a nice name even without that association. I have no idea what it means, but I'm definitely looking it up now.
