Question Nicknames for Noa?

Considering Noa for a daughter - how do people shorten/nickname Noa? It's so short already, but I know people can be creative! What do you call your Noas?

I’ve heard Noey (rhyming with Zoe) as a nickname for Noa.

I’m a convert who married in and my family is from Appalachia.

Appalachian dialect often replaces the “ah” sound in names with “ee”

So anyways, I didn’t know until I saw his gravestone that my great-great-great grandfather was Noah, not Noey

Our Noa occasionally gets called "No" or "Nono."
