Perhaps Gorman, Germain & Jarmy are variants of the same surname.

Nancy is a variant form of Ann.

Jarmy appears to be a homophone variant of Germain - when spoken by someone who does not clearly pronounce the final 'n'.

Gorman & Germain appear to be variant forms of a written name.

Perhaps the original was Germain but poorly written. Someone transcribing the name had trouble reading it, thought it looked like Gorman & wrote it as Gorman. Or vice versa.

However, as Jarmy is closer to Germain than Gorman, my best guess is that the 'proper' name is Germain
