It seems like a very common name in America. Sam is pretty common and I’m guessing Harris is top 20 most common surnames? Has a nice enough ring to it. Samuel Harris sounds a lot more formal so as the child gets older and if they go into law or something they’ll have a respectable sounding yet common name, easy to understand and spell. It’s a relatively short name which, as someone with a similarly short name can tell you, is a small yet frequent convenience. I’m assuming you’re asking about naming your child. But this name could also work pretty well for a pet. Sam Harris the goldfish, or Sam Harris the dog, sounds great. I say go for it!
