Jay is solidly unisex for me. It's a lot like Lee, Kay, and Ray. It looks slightly masculine on a girl and slightly feminine on a boy, and has that short nicknamey feel without necessarily being short for anything. I think its proper place is as a filler middle name, but I don't mind it as a first name.
As a first name I think it sounds older on a boy and younger/more versatile on a girl, but maybe that's just because I recently met a young female Jay (19-20ish) and I think the only male Jays I've met have been older. But as a nickname it could go easily on any age.
