That is wonderful that you're going to honor your mother by passing her name to your daughter! Here are a few ideas:

Eliza Shirley
Evelyn Shirley
Adeline Shirley nn Addie
Louisa Shirley
Eva Shirley
Caroline Shirley

Isabel Doris
Felicity Doris
Cecily Doris
Lila Doris
Annabel Doris
Amelia Doris nn Mia

I especially love the sound of Eliza Shirley. It's elegant but also spunky! I also love Amelia Doris. Mia is adorable!

Hope you see something you like!

When you said Shirley I immediately thought of Anne of Green Gables - her name was Anne Shirley and I always thought that was so pretty. So my suggestion is Anne Shirley or Anna Shirley.

but -- here are a few more

Clara Shirley
Hannah Shirley
Olivia Shirley

I think a lot of names would go with Doris as a MN.
Do you have any favorites?

My mother's name is Shirley Rose and I named my daughter Kacie Rose after her.

I like Doris as a middle name.
