Regarding the description of this entry: no, it is the other way around!
Chariklia is the modern Greek form of Χαρίκλεια (Charikleia), since ancient Greek -ei- becomes -i- in modern Greek:
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_orthography (in English)
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet#Letters (in English)
So, when Charikleia is used in a modern Greek context, it is actually an alternate transcription of Chariklia.
Also take a look at what you did for names like Aristeidis, Eirini and Foteini:

The comment regarding Modern Greek orthography is incorrect, as may be confirmed by consulting the links provided. It is only in transcription into the Latin alphabet that ει may be realized as i. Though they are pronounced alike in Modern Greek, ει and ι are still distinct in written Greek. "Chariklia" is only an alternate transcription of "Χαρίκλεια."
