I've never met a Noam here in Sweden, so my only association is Noam Chomsky. A good enough association, but not very feminine. So no, I don't think it fits on a girl. Noamie sounds better.

I do not like it on a girl, although it is apparently unisex.

I do LOVE the name Noam though, but I really love it for a boy. I've met three Noams, all male.

I love Noam on a boy, but no way I'd use it for a girl. It's strictly male to me.

Even if I say it with two syllables, it reminds me acutely of the word "gnome." In combination it sounds a bit like "No, I'm [middle name]." So it just seems really foreign-languagey to me. I don't find it appealing, either. Names beginning with NOH- almost always disagree with me.

I wouldn't even notice if it were used on a girl instead of a boy. Whatever. It doesn't seem gendered to me.

I think Noam works well for both boys ad girls. I know quite a few Noams but more girls than boys. I think for a girl, Noam has to balanced out with a cuter or girlier middle

Noam Daisy
Noam Isabelle
Noam Lyra
Noam Adeline
Noam Cara
Noam Lilly
Noam Juliette
Noam Violetta

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be named Noam, and I wouldn't want to name a girl Noam. I wouldn't want to name a boy it either. It sounds like the old southern "No'm" and "yes'm."

To me, Noam is so obscure, that I don't find it too strongly associated with either gender. So I think it could work on a girl.

Of your list I l don't mind:
Noam Alena
Noam Xaviera
Noam Ellen

Some other ideas:
Noam Alessandra (I think if I was a girl named Noam I would like a pretty decidedly feminine middle name)
Noam Amelia
Noam Elissa
Noam Eloise
Noam Christiane
Noam Juliet
Noam Vivian
Noam Aaliyah
