Given name
I looked at the references you gave that Bahiyyih Khánum's given name was Bahá'íyyih Núrí and then don't span out:


 * H.M. Balyuzi, Baha'u'llah - The King of Glory, p. 17 states:
 * "The children of Bahá'u'lláh - 'Abdu'l-Bahá (the Most Great Branch), Bahá'íyyih Khanum (the Greatest Holy Leaf) and Mirza Mihdi (the Purest Branch) - were all born in this rented house; their mother was his first wife, Asiyih Khanum."
 * There is no mention that the name was the given name and in fact that he uses Abdu'l-Baha shows that he's using the most common name and not the given name.


 * Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Baha'u'llah v 1, p. 14 states
 * "Another member of the Holy Family who accompanied Bahá'u'lláh on this journey was His six-year-old daughter Bahá'íyyih Khanum, titled Varaqiy-i-'Ulya (The Greatest Holy Leaf)."
 * Again, there is no comment about it being her given name.

On the other hand Momen, Moojan (2007). Baha'u'llah: A Short Biography. states
 * ""Next in 1846 came a daughter, Fatimih Sultan Khanum, who in later years was known by the titles Bahiyyih Khanum and the Greatest Holy Leaf"''
 * clearly stating that her given name was Fatimih.
