Nothing comes to mind initially regarding sirens/maenads/nymphs for potential origins. But it does remind me of Christine Downing's work. She has some great scholarship and books on the great goddesses and some of their origins. I'm not sure if she has spoken about nymphs, but that may be a place to look!
Your short story work sounds fascinating, lovely to give these figures new life and meaning.
