Question
Is the name Nuriel recommended?
Answer
It is advisable to name after angels only those names that have been accepted among the people of Israel throughout the generations, such as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. As far as I know, the name Nuriel has not been accepted over the generations, particularly as it is the name of an angel of judgment.
Source
It should be noted that one of the sages of Baghdad mentioned by the Ben Ish Chai is Rabbi Shalom Israel Nuriel, but it is unclear to me whether this is his first name or his surname.
