It IS unisex considering it can come from Oliver AND Olivia, but people can have Ollie (and other spellings) on either two genders. Try to see both sides of it.

It's ok as a nickname. I wouldn't use it as a legal name.
I like this name on boys and girls. It’s really cute! Although I do prefer it as a nickname for Olivia and Oliver it’s still cool. Some name combos for Ollie: Ollie Moon Ollie blue Ollie Valentina Ollie June Ollie Jane Ollie jaye.

Junie B. Jones’ baby brother is named Ollie.Also, the Wonder Pets (Linny, Tuck, and Ming-Ming too!) have a rabbit friend named Ollie.
In the United States, there is a chain of retail stores called Ollie's Bargain Outlet. It specializes in closeout merchandise and excess inventory. While I have always found this name to be sweet and spunky, I would avoid using it while living in the States. I wouldn't want my child be associated with the motto, "Good Stuff Cheap."

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong's mother is named Ollie. In her case it's her actual given name (not short for anything).
Never a fullname-- forever the ranks of a nickname. Having said that, it truly does seem more masculine ("Oliver") than feminine ("Olivia"/"Olive"). But it is not a diminutive that I see myself ever putting to use. "Ollie"... there is something about the spoken sound that is horribly off, in my ears and eyes. It also appears to be more of a "husband/wife" nickname, not a child's. Meaning, a wife calling her husband "Ollie."
