You've picked some good ones! I think Penelope Grace would be a good combo, but if you're set on the pairings you listed, I like Genevieve Grace followed by Harper Juliet.
I was kind of surprised that DH latched on to Harper; he'd said no to it before.
We had someone say something very uncomplementary about Penelope, and it included the word penis, so I'm hesitant on it. Genevieve is the runner-up, and Harper is a very lagging 3rd place. I actually really want Juliet for a middle name, but DH doesn't like how it sounds with Genevieve. *sigh*. Names are hard.
@mrsdudeandkids People can be so immature. There are lots of cute nicknames for Penelope like Penny and Poppy, and you can also be adamant about her being called by her name. Hopefully everybody will get the message on what to call her once you decide on a name and not be jerks about it.

I for the life of me can't think of what the heck they would have said about Penelope and Penis, and generally I can have the mind of a teen boy when it comes to jokes. I think someones ignorant comment isn't worth a second thought.
Penelope Juliet is a beautiful name with several potential NNs, like Penny, Poppy, Nell/Nellie, or even PJ if you like initials NNs. Genevieve Grace would be my second choice, and I would eliminate Harper all together as it's very trendy and dated.
Thanks for all the thoughts. I think I will definitely drop Harper from its 3rd place spot and just leave Penelope and Genevieve to rest until the ultrasound.
@Mamabeagle Really? That's an argument against the name I haven't heard yet.
As soon as we named our beagle Penelope nn Penny and started going to the dog park, I quickly realized it. I still like the name but that's been my experience overwhelmingly.
Re: Which girl name?
I've never cared for Harper, harsh and surnamey.
Suggest Genevieve Grace... made me think of Gigi for a nickname
If we were not done having kids I would of loved using Genevieve
Genevieve and Penelope are both much more solid and sophisticated. Both are great

ETA: Don't worry about what someone said about Penelope...I agree with PP that is is a solid choice!
Genevieve is absolutely gorgeouds
harper isnt even in same ballpark
But back to the choice, I love both Genevieve and Penelope. Couldn't get DH on board for either!!
