nope, first thing that came to my mind.
nearly drove into the Rhine once when passing the rock which was the supposed home of the sirens (not because they were there singing, but because it wasn't very clear where it was and I didn't want to miss it)
as for the name Rory, maybe the boy's parents are fans of Rory Gallagher?
