I think of a) Tarkovsky and b) Unix, but I don't see why it wouldn't work as a personal name too; it's interesting and has a pleasant sound. And there's precedent: apparently three people born in the UK have been named Solaris - one with a Russian surname (maybe the parents are Tarkovsky fans?) and two with African surnames. One of the three was Solaris Gloria, which is fairly spectacular.

-ris to me sounds more feminine (Iris, Doris, Charis, etc). But there's also Boris. I think I'd prefer it on a girl though.
