Personally it leans feminine to me but that’s because the only ones I’ve known have been Louises who shortened to [name_u]Lou[/name_u].
but I’m aware there are a few male names that can be shortened to Lou/Lu

Definitely unisex, however, I’d think that some people may ask what its short for frequently enough.

[name_u]Lou[/name_u] feels very unisex! If I just heard it, I might assume it was a nickname for a little girl, but as a full name it is very neutral, and I wouldn’t be surprised either way.
