Thank you. I enjoyed the discussion. : )
Would like to thank Balaban Cerit too (soory- had to pick one person for grading), since was first, but direct links to the author were more useful.
Here's what he said:
Hi.

"It doesnot have a specific meanning.. It is the reverse order of "icon" ..
As you know in the movie
I am using lots of icons, signs , and semiotic objects..
Why you are asking this?

Best Regards
Gokhan Okur"

Explanation:
"noci" has no meaning at all in Turkish. Maybe it has a meaning in some other language.

If you really need to learn what the name signifies for the director, Gökhan Okur, we could ask him.

Explanation:
"Noci" is a third phase translation of the word "night" in English. To put it right, a translation out of a translation. "Night" is sort of "the call of "love" and "fire" which unites these two phenomena.And it is those phonemena that bring back the pent up romance in the primitive human

Does Night mean anything without fire and love? How many of us can deny that it doesn\'t remind us of love and fire? Night is when we hide our kinky desires and it is then that we need fire in the flesh and love to get out of this fearsome world that we call \"LIFE\"

I guess Gökhan Okur went through the same phase while thinking over the scenario
