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!

Hi Septapus !!!I like Charity!
It has a warm, sweet sound and meaning. I associate it with the red colour.I prefer it over Caridad but only because I came across a bad fictional character with that name. Previously I use to like it too.Carità (Italian form) is not a given name at all here. Maybe because 'Caritas' is one of the most famous Italian Catholic charity organizations.
