Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
Honestly? Boy's name. I don't think something that literally means "son of" can be a feminine name.
That's not to say you can't use it for a girl, obviously -- it's quite popular, following along on Madison's tails -- but if it's simply Addie that appeals I much prefer Adeline, Adelia, Adele, Adela, Adelaide, etc. (and actually love Ada, Della, Dilly or Delia as a nn for most of those). ;)
So in practice, a name that's used for either gender, but as far as actual origin/meaning is concerned, it's a completely masculine name.
HTH, either way. ;)

I think of it as a girl's name now.
I think unisex because I know both boys and girls named Addison - and I think to further complicate matters it's way too close to the overly-popular Madison now
