Doesn’t sound right for a boy in my opinion. It’s the Bella part that is associated with the female form of beautiful and I speak 5 languages. So yeah, sounds better for a girl. Feel bad for the guy who has it as a first name.

Took a beautiful French phrase and absolutely butchered it. Awful name.

I actually like it. I think it's a great name if you like the sound of 'Bella', but think Isabella and Annabella are too popular. I would use it as a first name for a girl, or a gender neutral middle name.

Your first name of Bellamy gives you an independent, serious, reticent, and studious nature. An intellectual, you have a deep appreciation for art, music, literature, and all the phenomena of nature. You express your thoughts and feelings best through writing rather than verbally. In fact, others find it challenging to understand you as you do not reveal your innermost thoughts unless you are completely comfortable in your friendships. For that reason, despite having good business abilities, you like to work alone or where you are making your own decisions. It has created separateness from others and loneliness in your life. Health analysis: Worry and depression could be problems in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
The phrase "bel ami" was grammatically masculine in Old French - as far as I can tell from a quick lookup, the feminine version would have been "bele amie." So - though I'm not a stickler for strict gender in names - there's more precedent to use this for a boy's name than a girl's.
Bellamy is a surname. Carried by many, including English Footballer Arthur Bellamy, American Actor Bill Bellamy, and British botanist and writer David Bellamy. The fact that it is a surname means that as a first name it should be categorized as UNISEX. Bellamy Blake, from the book and television series The 100 is a good example of a modern male usage. Bellamy Young (whose real name is Amy) and Bellamy Novagratz are two female bearers.
