I'd much rather go back to the Latin and name her Cara - if necessary, short for Caritas! Charity sounds uncomfortable, more like donating unwanted/unusable stuff to the deserving poor than its original meaning of (non-sexual) love.

And then there's Dickens, who took one of his most unpleasant, hypocritical characters and gave him daughters named Charity and Mercy, nicknamed respectively Cherry and Merry!
