The planet Vulcan in Star Trek has no moons at all, called 'Charis' or otherwise. In the immortal words of Spock himself, 'Vulcan has moon.' Spock tells Uhura this in the 1966 episode "The Man Trap" and the quote is repeated exactly in the script of the episode "Yesteryear" (1973).

There is a Charis Ministries close to my hometown. It is a Jesuit ministry to those in their 20s & 30s. A ministry of the Chicago-Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus, that offer retreats, leadership development and formation activities that bring the gifts of Ignatian Spirituality to the lives of young adults. Therefore this name gives a good impression.

Charis is also the name of the second Merriville sister in a Georgette Heyer Regency romance, 'Frederica'. She's a "lovely widgeon", but it's still a beautiful and charming name!

Charis Johnson was the founder of a "paid autosurf programme" called LifeClicks which has been called one of the largest modern-day Ponzi schemes. Through the use of her website, she manipulated thousands of people to join and deposit money. In the later stages of the fraudulent scheme, she managed to retain investors' trust by repeatedly bouncing blame and failures on other companies, groups, and individuals, including Brigham Young University students and professors, StormPay, ABC4 News of Salt Lake City, Utah, the owners of Talkgold.com and even the government of the United States.
Her website was shut down in 2006, and she is now facing criminal and civil suits from both state and federal agencies.

No, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas' daughter is not called Charis. She is Carys, which is an unrelated Welsh name. (I think the Greek version is Grace.)
