The form is tagged as a proper noun in both verses. In Hosea 1:6 the name is assigned to a daughter as the APB renders, "Name her No Mercy," followed by the declaration that compassion will no longer be shown to the house of Israel; in Hosea 1:8 the same name identifies her after she has been weaned.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "No Mercy" in Hosea 1:6 and repeats it in Hosea 1:8. The surrounding statement about compassion confirms the verse context rather than supplying a separate lexical sense.
