Emma Grace. I've seen/heard this so many times, it puts me in a coma.
Isabella Rose is in that category, as well.

I think Hannah Grace and Ava Elizabeth are also pretty common. I'm not so sure about Jennifer Lynn; I grew up in the Era of Jennifer, but I can't remember any of their middle names. It was probably Lynn for a lot of them, though. Lynn, Ann/Anne, and Marie were the middle names du jour of my generation.

I have no idea about Shirley Jean.

I have a question: if a person has a popular-for-their-time first name and a common middle name, BUT the middle name is honoring, do they still have a "generic combo"? I'm curious.
