Spencer and Harper
I have been liking it a lot lately. I like the sound, and I think "Spence" is a cute nn. I think I've seen it cropping up here and there on favorite lists aroung BtN, but I was wondering what people think of it in general.
Also, I don't think it goes too well with my other names: Simon, Gideon, Allegra, Stella. Too many S names if I add Spencer?
Harper for a girl. WDYT? Many reasons I like it: It has musical connotations that I love. Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird, enough said. I even like the tomboyish quality. Even though it could be boy or girl, I would only use it on a girl.
Neither of these is really my normal style, but I find myself liking them more and more. Would Spencer and Harper be a bad sibset because of the common -er?

I adore Harper for a girl - also because of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I'm not musical, but the harp is certainly a beautiful instrument, so that's a nice link too :-)
I'm not such a fan of Spencer ... It sounds a bit pretentious to me, and reminds me of the British Spencer family and all their dramas dragged through the press ...

I like them both really well. I agree that Spence is a cute nm and I would only use Harper for a girl as well.
As for Spencer going with your other names I think it fits in well.
I like the Spencer/Harper sibset myself
I have a dear friend named Harper and she past on a few months ago and I have never known a sweeter gal.

spencer sounds yuppie but i like harper
I don't like either name but Harper is the lesser of the two evils.
I like Spencer and I think it's fine with your other names. It sounds nice and the nn Spence is pretty cute.
I LOVE the name Harper, although it doesn't sound the greatest with Spencer. It reminds me of a friend of mine who plays the harp which is probably why I think of it as more of a girl's name than a boy's name. I think it's very musical and brings to mind a strong yet graceful girl.
EDIT: My harp-playing friend is female. Sorry, that wasn't very clear in my original message.

Spencer not Harper
I think Spencer and Harper wouldn't be a ever good sibset but I think Spencer does go well with your other names!
Spencer & Gideon
Spencer & Allegra
Spencer & Simon
Spencer & Stella
Those are all fine but I wouldn't go with Spencer & Harper unless they were both boys or both girls because of the same sound at the end. And I don't know if Harper really goes with your other names very well *sorry*.
