Noa Nimrodi: I'm Noa Nimrodi, also pronounced Noa Nimrodi by Americans, which is completely fine with me. People can say my name whatever pronunciation is easy for the way they pronounce it.
I usually present myself as Noah because if I say Noa, people think there's an R there and ask Nora. Noah is more familiar from Noah's Ark, which in Hebrew is Noach, which sounds different, but the Americans don't have the ch sound. Without the H, it's Noa and it's also actually a biblical name.
It appears in the Old Testament as one of the five daughters of Zelophehad, who was a landowner who had no sons, only five daughters. And at that time, the law did not allow women to inherit property. I consider Noa as one of the first feminists in history, she and her sisters.
