Clara is lovely.

Bonnie is a bit of a canine name and Coral sounds a bit like an elderly American woman,.

Clara is best on your list imo, really pretty name. Bonnie just reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde... not the best connotation!

Not Coral. Clara = Long-distance Clara from Pigeon Street. I like Bonnie the best, but prefer Connie; second the Cleo and Flora suggestions

Clara and Coral are both nice. I wouldn’t want to be an adult woman called Bonnie.

Clara (or Cara) is my favourite.

Bonnie sounds to me as if someone said "that's a bonnie baby" and the parents didn't get any further with choosing a name Grin

Clara
Rosa
Thea
Pia

Clara is nice.
Coral is ok. I personally prefer Cora and Coralie.
I rather dislike Bonnie tbh.

Flora is beautiful. I also like Cleo (and Clio, Juno and Hero).

I don't think Bonnie (or to an extent, Coral) is a name which lends itself to an adult who wants to be taken seriously. You can always call her Bonnie as a family pet name whatever name you choose. It's just like referring to your child as something like lovely.

Clara is lovely and suitable for all stages of life.
