The name Rune is acceptable to both boys and girls, though the slightly more feminine version Runa is only suitable for girls.
Keep in mind, unisex names can have alternative versions that target only one gender especially feminine yet that would be too confusing and Rune would just be best for a boy while Runa is for a girl.
Personally...
I like Rune for both boys and girls but Runa for girls only, I learned to keep it simple.

Rune is absolutely not a unisex name. It is strictly masculine. 7 women in Denmark are named Rune, only 1 woman in Sweden and not a single woman in Norway has the name Rune.
Rune is an old Norse name and is in Sweden common amongst old men. For example, my 87-year-old grandfather is named Rune. It is old fashioned and certainly masculine. Please don't make comments of which you know nothing. Keep in mind Sweden, Norway and Denmark have a combined population of over 20 million people. That means that 8 in over 10 million women are named Rune (Scandinavia has a higher ratio of women to men). To Scandinavian ears Rune does not sound feminine in any way.
