Interested to hear thoughts you may have on the name [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] for a baby girl. Any thoughts on middle names?
Welcome to Nameberry! [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] is nice enough on a girl; I quite like the meaning. I do think it will be confused and misheard as the much more popular [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
For middle names, I’d avoid other word names and stick with something more feminine and familiar.

I like it but I much prefer [name_u]Harper[/name_u] of [name_u]Haven[/name_u].
Harbor has a warm feel, I like it!

I think of it as a boys name
Harbor is quite endearing. It’s very sweet and would suit a little girl wonderfully!
I did realize after reading it a few times, though, that it reminded me of [name_u]Harper[/name_u]. The similarity between them is definitely part of the appeal, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] still sounds distinctly different and imo is a great alternative to [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
I think a simple or more feminine middle would work best:
[name_u]Harbor[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_u]Harbor[/name_u] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_u]Harbor[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]

I love how calm and warm [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] feels but, like others have said before me, I think it will definitely be misheard as [name_u]Harper[/name_u] often. It wouldn’t bother me if [name_u]Harper[/name_u] was a unique name, but given its popularity and familiarity now, I think it would happen more often than I would be happy to tolerate. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it for other people if that doesn’t bother them though and I love the previous suggestions of [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] for middles.

I do like it, though admittedly it’s not my personal style.
I agree with the other points about [name_u]Harper[/name_u]/Harley (which admittedly I prefer but that’s purely personal taste), but I don’t think it’s too unusual to be used or enough of a potential issue to rule out fully! I think [name_u]Arbor[/name_u] and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] both lean more masculine for me, but I don’t think that’s an issue 
I generally agree with this point! The first combos that came to my mind (that weren’t mentioned already) were:
