The name isn't only used as a masculine name. In more recent years, the name Spencer has frequently been used for girls as well. It should say the name is for both genders.

To be honest, you all say that Spencer sounds masculine just because you all probably know more males named Spencer than females, so you're used to it. As someone who doesn't live in an English-speaking country (so Spencer isn't a common name here), I automatically assumed that Spencer was a girl name and was surprised when I found out it could be used for boys too. It actually sounds kinda funny and unnatural to me when referring to a guy...

I think what people aren't taking into consideration is the fact that although a name be rarely used on girls that doesn't magically make it a girls name.
If a few people decided to use Amelia on boys I doubt people would be saying "it's a boys name to because of so and so" they'd more most likely be saying "no way, Amelia shouldn't be used on a boy".
Same thing applies to Spencer and other "modern unisex" names. Sure, their are some girls out their names Spencer but the name is still historically masculine. Just like Amelia is historically feminine regardless if it gets used on a boy once or twice.
Also, people need stop being so butthurt when someone says "this is to masculine for a girl" it's just an opinion on the name not the bearer or person using the name.

My name is Spencer, and I'm a girl. It should say feminine too! I don't care if you say it's attributed more to boys, I want it to say feminine too!
